Sandblasting Sheetmetal ???'s
Long time since I've been on here, some of you regulars may remember me. My 53 chevy pickup is getting closer to body work, all the rust fixing , welding , mods are all finished as far as I see right now and all door and fender gaps are looking nice which was not fun at all. My next step is to clean this thing up before I start on the body filler and I would really like to sand blast it top to bottom for a nice clean start. The obvious concerns I have are warping the metal. What could I use to be safe, siphon feed only or pressure feed blasting, silica sand, soda ? Need some advice from experience, I have access to all the equiptment but a little nervous about making more work for myself. I hope to visit more often as I seem to have more time to work on my pickup lately.
