Re: '72 Frame Up Rebuild

The bead blast was 500 bucks....which I figured was a pretty good deal compared to trying to sand it by hand.

Plus, it really blew out the thin areas that were rusted from the bottom.

I was totally surprised to see all that rust, it just didn't look that bad until it was blasted and then....well....you see it now.

Still gotta wonder about a new tub even at this stage .....

They didn't blast under the dash anymore because I didn't remove the heater box, you could tell there wasn't any rust up there so it wasn't necessary and that area will be sanded by hand with air sander.
