Thanks

Oh and AWSOME build!
Thanks!

For the frame, fenders, doors and the bigger items i used a local blast shop that rents a blast booth by the hour. They supply the black magic media and the equipment. I think that it was like $20.00 an hour. For all of the small stuff and the axles i bought a cheap harbor freight blaster. It was not ideal but it worked. I got black magic media from tractor supply and did it at home. i waited until i had a nice day and did it out in the lawn. It would make a serious mess in the shop.

Here is a link to the blaster

Here is a link to the media

And here is a link to my compressor. It just barely kept up with the blaster.
