So it might actually be cheaper to pay someone to either do the welding or the blasting....

Depending on if you find someone cheap...and reliable (I Know...not usually found but I have found one locally)
Well currently I am looking at good old harbor freight. 40lb soda blaster is on sale for $149 and a 110 90 amp wire feed is currently on sale for $149. I have only had the chance to price out sand blasting so far and the place I talked to said they wanted $200 to blast my frame. At that price I could buy a blaster but I dont know if thats a good rate or not. This is my first restore.
