back from soda blaster today. had underneath, door jams,trunk and firewall blasted with nickel slag. body was soda blasted. found only a couple of small suprises. ready for a little body work and primer. already installed new floor pans. didn't blast frame as it is going to be a frame swap for the seamless frame with 4 link and tubular a arms. here are a few pics.
update on my 55 sedan

kim at abilene powdercoating just bought a soda blaster last week. he practiced on some hoods and fenders and i was first body done. he is just starting a 57 hardtop of his own. the soda blasting was about 4 hours and ran about $400.

took 55 to body shop 2 years ago. only work done was in march 2010. he only worked 22 hours on it. i had to pick it up last week. this was a friend with a regular paint and body shop. i pay cash and pay as work is done so only spent $700. i have found a classic car restoration shop to work on it. they only take in two cars at a time. mine goes in two more weeks. sad part is i have wasted two years and body was soda blasted and sand blasted completely. have to re-do all that because he never put primer on. $1000 wasted.
