I've been working slowly on my  62 Falcon.  

old engine is out, engine bay has been steamed cleaned.  Battery area needs to be blasted / cleaned up to look decent when some paint goes on

I started looking around for my pressure fed sand blaster.  I've figured out  that it has disappeared somewhere over the past years.

So I start looking for a new one.  Looks like Harbor freight has one that will work;

I've got an older HF blaster.

Worked pretty good, I bought blasting sand at the lumberyard.

Buy a couple extra ceramic tips although the original lasted through the 32 build for me.
I did have the frame commercially blasted for the painter though.

Depending on where you're doing it you may want some extra hose.
I went 150' out the back, back yard  horse corral at the old house - and blasted there.

For small jobs I blasted in a low spot on the back lawn.
The grass grows right back through the sand and helps level it out.
