My over-sized sandblasting cabinet is a 10X20 Costco tent...hokey, I know, but it helps keep the mess to a minimum, and I can work in the heated garage.

Damn i wish my Challenger was that clean and solid...
Well ok, if it will make you feel better...I found a couple of holes....likely the culprit for the rust on the driver's side floor pan, no doubt from years of wet leaves/debris sitting in there. Gotta get that area patched, so my feet don't get wet!
Well NOW i feel worse because i sold you a complete rustbucket. What a sleazeball swindler i am...

Ya, I was just thinking it's too far gone, not salvageable...looking for a cliff to push it over....( LOL J/K!)But seriously, I snapped out of it, and realized it's a heck of allot better than my other 2 projects, and less rust than most other resto projects out there. Very nice place to start, and I could care less that it's a Satellite and not a Road Runner,it's my favorite Mopar body style, and that's all that matters.
