MTR, you might look into renting/borrowing a big enough compressor to blast it in one day. It'd be worth a long days work to do it all at once. It's an idea anyway.

Be ready now, you won't have that chance later.
I did think about hauling it into work to use a compressor there. I'm not concerned with the tub, so my normal media will be good. Belt sander would do the open flats, EB, but there's too many nooks and crannies.

Dont go tooo literal on me, I was just stating a concept or idea.
What ever you do, Im pretty damn sure its painted with CARC, and not knowing what the hell is in the stuff, I wouldnt breath or ingest it.
Every vehicle and trailer is painted with the stuff (AFAIK).

CARC is a good reason to sandblast it....
All the more reason to just take it into a company that specializes in blasting. (they'll also have whatever media you want) Pay them a little extra, and it can even come out powder coated, if you choose.

How hard is it to soda blast?

So if it is predictable and preventable then you better prepare.
About the same as sand blast - just a different media.
Made some small headway this week. After a few measurements I found an only needed to extend the rear of the frame. No box outs on the sides. I got the steel a few days ago, and got it boxed out today. Now just to mount it to the existing frame. I'm going to see if the blasting/ coating company can weld it on for me, and I can get it in tomorrow. If not, I'll haul the whole shebang into work on Monday and weld it here.
