MazterDizazter Posted February 27, 2009 Share Posted February 27, 2009 Hi all, I'm really unhappy with the fact that my '73 is three different colors (silver originally, exterior painted british racing green, engine bay semi-gloss black), and I want to start with a clean slate, stripping all the old paint off and getting the chassis down to the bare metal. This will also make it easier to weld in the fuel cell cradle I need to create, fill the fuel-filler door, and neatly cut and spot-weld the wheel arches for the mounting of ZG flares. I've seen numerous cars on here shown on a rotisserie and I'm wondering how much it costs to have a complete shell media-blasted, as well as the best way to transport the shell. Any help is appreciated, thanks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
280Z-75 Posted February 27, 2009 Share Posted February 27, 2009 Prices range from $800-1600 here depending on the size of the car in san jose to get the entire car sand blasted. And it includes the car being primed after. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jt1 Posted February 27, 2009 Share Posted February 27, 2009 I built a dolly out of 2x4's with swivel wheels to move the shell around. Around here a complete bake & blast will run $1200 - $1400 depnding on how much they do. Be aware you won't get back as much car as you take them. I thought my battery area only had surface rust, turned out it needed major surgery. jt Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know my battery tray is toast also, but I don't plan on putting a battery in that location anyhow. Price was about what I thought it would be too. What about an SCCA-legal cage? I assume they require at least 10-12pts? Is it best to buy one pre-made or have one fabbed? What am I looking at for cost there? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jt1 Posted February 28, 2009 Share Posted February 28, 2009 A fabbed scca ITS cage is about $2K, give or take. jt Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
