Im ready to get the body shell on the Chevelle sandlasted as I am petty much done hacking the living h ell out of it.....theres two places in Durham that will do it but one I dont trust as its a big industrial place and they only use sand, the other guy restores musclecars and uses all different types of media but is way too expensive....he wants like $1200 and theres hardly any car left

anyone have any suggestions in the GTA maybe east of Yonge St??

 

ever think about doing it yourself? would save you some money and you could pick up a sandblaster from princess auto and such places. or do you not have the space?

 

Ive def thought of doing it myself but Id have to build a booth in the shop out of 2x2's and plastic you'll have a sandblaster and sand, hood, mask etc, the $$ adds up.....next thing you know for a few hundred more you could have paid someone to do it and saved the mess....and from all accounts it makes one h ell of a mess.

 

Hey Doug,

Try calling either Redline in Scarborough or Wade at Straight Line Racing II and see if they have any suggestions or shops they trust....start with Wade 905-649-1118.

 

i agree, wade for sure.

 

Hey - called the number, not sure who I was talking to because Wade wasnt there but he turned me on to S&T Sandblasting in Uxbridge 416-989-5709, guys name is Terry...very familiar with muscle cars, has a 69 Camaro in his shop right now, uses only sand but has several grades right down to the "consistency of table salt"....I described what I needed done he said "be right around $400"....now THATS more like it!....in a week or so I'll be bringing the car up there....Thanks for the suggestion!!! Doug

 

Let me know how you do with the blasting. I have a 70 Firebird I'd like to blast if it's reasonable and the job is well/properly done. The 400$ number seems low from what I've found so let us know what the end result looks like (with pics! ) and the final tally.

 

there isnt even any floors,trunk pans, doors or front fenders just the roof, quarters, rockers and around the front and rear glass ...Ill take some pics D

 

Not a whole lot to blast then! I may just blast mine myself. By the time I haul it somewhere to get it done I could have bought a unit and built a plastic film booth, we'll see. Would like to know how yours turns out though.

 

FYI Redline isn't Redline anymore unless they moved. I can't remember the name of the shop that's currently at that location unfortunatly.
