Been thinking about totally stripping the car and doing it right. Anyone ever had their car soda blasted or dry ice blasted?

I'm still getting used to welding but , man!, there are some good instructional videos and resources here!

I'm haveing trouble deciding how far I want to go to finish this 20 year project!

Gets overwhelming sometimes!

 
I had my daughter 77 stang soda blasted. They did a great job. Will get some pics of it tomorrow when I go over to the shop. The price wasn't that bad. Just make sure you pressure wash it good when ypu get it back.

Usually, the right thing to do is use several ways to strip off the paint and stuff... I dont like for example, sandblast the skins... Not familiar with sodablast or iceblast but the thing is i dont like to use anithing that crashes against the fragile skins... However, when it comes to the enginebay, floor Or stuff like that, sandblasting is my way to go from now on...

Hope it helps!!

 
Anyone have any experiences with acid dipping/stripping?

the problem with soda blasting is it only removes the paint it will not remove surface rust that is under your paint.

the guy doing the job will primer your beast before you pic it up and you may not know about the surface rust until its to late.

stripping is the way to go

 
Here are the pics of my daughters 77. I had this soda blasted about 6 yrs ago. Thankfully it has been in a climete controlled shop. I agree with Fank that stripping is the way to go. I had it soda blasted than took care of the rust. Saved a whole bunch of work.
