Re: 67 cheby's Dropmember build thread

Sand blasting is fine for heavy gauge metal like the frame & suspension parts but body parts should be baking soda blasted. It is much less aggressive and leaves the surface much smoother plus it doesn't change the PH level of the metal like sand blasting does. Parts won't flash rust after baking soda blasting like they will with sand.

With baking soda you can even leave the glass and chrome on the vehicle and it won't harm them. It will take the paint off a chrome emblem without removing the chrome.

Great process and is well worth the money to have it done.
