Here are some pics of body after it was blasted. I believe he called it star blasting which was a very fine sand which did not warp the panels. Pretty solid or the most part considering it is a midwest car. Had some rust on the rear wheel wells and a few pinholes in trunk and a spot on the windshield, otherwise rocker, floor etc looked good. I had him blast it, then apply an epoxy primer to take care of the rust and seal it up somewhat because I knew it would be awhile before it got anymore work done. After this stage the project sat for almost 2 years while I finished school, got married and eventually had a son (and saved up some money).
Surveyor- U R right, this forum has been a life saver!
Will keep the pics coming.
