Hey Aaron, I may or may not be here. Work travel is picking up again. If not, I'll be up in Lapeer every other week or so anyway.

Hope you're ready for the snow!

So I think I found a solution to get my car blasted and primed. I found a company that will pick up, blast, prime, and drop off my car for around $1200-1300. Not bad. Half the price of chemical strip and e-coat.

Anyone recommend a primer to use after blasting? They proposed Kem Kromic as a mid-grade primer. This is just really for the inner structure as I really just want something tough and that will seal well.

Brian, who did you find to do the blasting? I've been looking too. I talked to Ron at www.alternativemediablasting.com. He seemed knowledgable about automotive body blasting. Prices as around the $1k without priming. Think he is in Brighton area. You can shoot me a pm if you'd like.
Gonna make it to Autoramma? I'm planning on it.

Hoping to go to Autorama with a guy from work. I think I saw on here that some people were going to meet up before hand and have dinner in Greektown. May do that. We should meet up.

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.
