Wow your car looks great!! Very solid.

DON'T TOUCH IT ANYWHERE! Where gloves anytime you touch it.

Now you got a ton of paint work to do like FAST. Don't leave it sit around bare, 48-72 hours is the max I like to let em sit bare like that. Most of the time I prime it same day.

I know lot's of guys will say otherwise, The fact is, the sooner it's sealed, the sooner you should sleep well. Rust never sleeps.

Great car and solid!!! Don't let it rust.

What about that it's soda?
Gotta rinse first, or just wipe down with thinner/prepsol?

thanks for the compliments

I will get get some pics of the bottom of the car this weekend, the lift is currently tied up

I am not worried about rust on the car, my shop has radiant heat , and my dart sat, after being media blasted, for 2 months and didn't rust anywhere ...

I need to wire wheel the rust out where the soda blaster didn't get it. I will get the primer on it in a week or 2

this is 1st one I had soda blasted, the guy at the shop (who also does full restos on brand X cars) said leave it as is till your ready to epoxy prime, then blow out the rest of the soda and prepsolve the parts and shoot the primer

Radiant heat is the best for this kinda of thing, great looking car. Most of us would love to have something that solid.

very comparable to having the car plastic media blasted, but the metal is super smooth, like it was chemically stripped. The soda doesn't remove rust from the pits so i need to address some areas in the trunk for rust , but the rest of it is awesome , plus there were no piles of media in the trailer when I got the car home, just a little baking soda dust, my dart still drips media every now and then

I have blasted stuff for many years, I use my 100 CFM compressor that I use to blast with, to blow out the car. I can get 98% of it out before I even move the car into the garage. You could never do that with a shop compressor.
