I found Michigan Sand Blasting. Guy said he's done about 1000 cars in the last ~ 30 years. They seem to have lots of options for media and primer. I think just blasting my car was $700-900. Keep in mind I don't have much car to blast right now! They are in Redford, and they guy also will pick up and drop off which helps since I don't have a trailer. They charge $60 / hr to pick up and drop off which isn't bad. I'm only about 25 minutes from them so about $60 each way should cover it. They need the car for a couple of days to do it, which will also allow me to clean out my garage!
That place looks like a top notch place. Been to their website before, but didn't see much on autobodies. Good to know for more options. I am having someone put quarters on mine and he said he'd clean it up an prime after blasting. He uses a "wash primer" or something like that.
I hear you on the garage cleanout. Mine is trashed after cutting, welding, grinding on my frame when I narrowed it and boxed it. I need to get the LS1 and T56 in and mocked up so I can build the mounts now.
We are off on a snowday today, got hit pretty good last nite/today.
I'll let you know about Autoramma, not sure what day I'm going yet. Somebody told me early Sunday is a good time.
