Default NOVA/Fredericksburg assistance needed

Hey,

Anyone in the Fredericksburg, VA area know of a good sandblaster who can handle my frame?

Also will need some welding, specifically in the kickup area. Any recommendation for a decent welder.

Of course the cheaper the better! I'm working on a tight budget!

Thanks,
Al

They can take care of the sand blast and may be able to help with the welding.
If not contact Garry at Bigfoots Speed. 373-3291 http://www.bigfootspeed.com

Ask him for the number of the guy who does the roll bar work. I cant remember his name or # at this time but he is located in stafford. I have his bus. card but just not with me.

I plan to blast my car frame myself if you want to use it? Blasting when I looked around was close to 300.00 I could not see spending that much. So now I will balst it and paint it myself.

Hey thanks for the help.

Yeah I thought of doing the blasting myself. I just dont have the compressor to power it. Also I really dont have the space in the backyard to get away with making so much noise and mess.

I have not seen to many people post sandblasting prices .... is $300 a lot to do a frame?

Tks
Al

do you need the whole frame done or just the kick ups?

Of course since I just pulled the body I'm in the "while I'm at it mode"!

I had hoped to tear down the chassis and do the whole frame. Get the frame blasted, welded and hit it with some PRO-15.

Course cost might dictate my plans in the end!

Tks
