Sand blasting a stang
 

Hey guys, i have a few questions for ya. I want to do the t-top right, and i was wondering if i was to get it sand blasted would i have to take out all the glass interior and all that? i need the whole outter body stripped so i can do the body work easy and find out all the ugly about it... please respond if you have info.

The right way to do it is to take a grinder with a 36 grit disc and grind all the dents. Its alot easier to see the dents when theres paint on the car. Then after its blasted, you can see the grind marks where the dents are.

Most normal sandblasting shops dont do body panels. You will need to find a shop that specializes in paint stripping. The shop I use, uses plastic media.

Stripping just the outside can be done with the glass in the car. You just want to make sure its covered good.

if you sandblast the body panels there is a very good chance you will warp them

you use a different type of media, or soda blasting.

What about plastic media.. also i heard that soda would only take off like spraypaint not auto paint.. am i wrong?

had my car media (plastic) blasted. Realatively in-expensive and was able to leave the glass and trim on. Took all the paint off down to bare metal. Kinda cool, cause it does not etch the medal as sand would. Only way to go on any more of my projects.
