The local one here in Calgary actually has a U Blast it area set up so you can take things over on a trailer and give them a once over. Patience is critical if you are doing roadster sheet metal. Stand as far away as possible and be patient or you will end up with a bunch of pretzel panels...
Thanks. Pretty sure the closest one is in Calgary :D
I'll maybe call some of the local blasters and see what's up.
Right now I don't think there is much of the car that would really need blasting. I'm hoping that that a good sanding will gently remove the surface rust and not risk making the car look like a piece of impressionist art. Maybe just blast a few of the hard to sand corners. If I can get away with that I'll just gear up and do it in the yard.

Thanks.

If I decide to have the whole car done I'll probably farm it out to a pro.
