went and bought a blaster today

[freightdriver]

go buy some sand 2marrow and start blasting parts   here pretty quick i'll get it rolling again and blast the entire undercarriage and do alil painting/undercoating wish i had this car on a rottiserie but oh well its just a high hp driver/race car anyways...

is there anything i can do to kindof loosin the undercoating/dirt from underneath before i blast it??

I found taking a torch like a propane or map torch for sweating copper pipes and a puddy knife works nice. it is a messy and i would advise wearing protective gear.

cool i've got a torch with 2 barely used bottles in the garage

Just be ultra careful with that method of course. I know it's the wrong time of year, but if the car was out side a high pressure washer also does a nice job to loosen things up.

in cali its never the wrong time of the year

I've found the best thing for getting the undercoating off is a heat gun. I bought one at Harbor Freight for like $10 heat the undercoat up and it comes right off with a putty knife. It is messy but much better than a wire wheel (mucco messy)and a torch, gas is expensive man! Seriously it works great! You can then wire wheel the remaining crap in between, do it you'll see what I mean. Then if ya want you can blast. Let me know how it works out!

did'nt get quite as far as i wanted ended up disassembling the interior and cleaning the garage. tommarrow should be clear out so i might take a stab at messing with it and see which method i prefer if i've got enough energy after goin to a forklift class 5hours of driving if i hit no traffic and a 3hr course
