Blasting and Welding needed in Greater Atlanta

Hi all

I have finally reached the point where I can think about getting the tub blasted and get new floor boards and the damaged cross brace replaced. I still haven't gotten the bondo off the fronts of both rear fenders so I may need patches on the fgenders and maybe sills.

Does any one have recommendations for media blasters in the atlanta area and for welders?

Appreciate any thoughts.

Larry,

I have tried stripping, bead blasting, sand blasting etc. the best that I have found is soda blasting. There is just no comparison!! Google - soda blast Atlanta. I saw an outfit called "Atlanta Soda Blasting Inc." there are also others.

Thanks, I will talk to them.

i have found a bunch on google and the phone book. I was really kind of looking for recommendations of places people have used that did a good job without beating the metal to death.

Larry,

Thats the beauty of soda blasting, it does not heat or distort the metal at all. In fact you can take a whole car and it will not etch chrome or glass.
