Re: blast or sand

I agree about the sandblaster warp...a buddy of mine had a flawless 72 hood ...except for surface rust...his dad has a commercial grade blaster...well they stood the hood up vertical and blasted away the rust...then his hood had a real nice "×" pattern in from the bracing underneath...
I guess ill try the sanding and naval jelly first and see what happens...
I know it doesn't matter but these old IH trucks feel like they stamped em outta 1/8" sheetmetal..so they pretty stout...the other donor truck for this project is my dads original truck...30 years ago he had the whole truck sandblasted and primed...that's the way it still sits. .its no show truck but there's no major blasting warp issues that I can see at the moment
