Latest update. The car is ready for the mobile blast man. Firewall is done. Cowl vent is filled. Strange holes found in both doors after stripping an E coat.

nice work on the firewall!

Thanks for the thumbs up gang.

Now for a report on the stripping. Dustless it is. No warping. Really messy. You will see from the last picture all the glass and paint I pushed out in the driveway off of the cement. It will disappear sometime. I liked the job. Did the body dash and rear fenders. I just got done priming. started getting ready at 6am. $600.00 for the job.

Does it only remove the paint or does it also remove rust?

Rust too

The media is ground up glass bottles. There is also an additive in the water to help it flash of and not rust for 72 hrs.

600 sounds very reasonable to me. If I had that option, I'd throw the blaster in the dumpster. Way to go, Don.

Interesting to note the Blaster was not wearing any form of respirator? Looks like a great job all the same.

The process is dustless because water is the carrier for the abrasive.

It looks good, Don!

Any idea what that additive is?

Did you have to use any type of solvent to prep before priming?

Thanks!

The additive is HoldTite 102. I should add that clean up after the blasting is a lot of work. I found places in the car that still had media and water. I have blown this out twice. Vacuumed once. I am going to blow it all out again just to be sure its all clean. Her are two more pictures sitting outside.

Update! Fixed the holes in the doors filled the cowl patch and the left rear quarter.
