Mitch, I have a friend that used Ice Blasting and they were a bit too agressive on a nice original '67. I wanted to control the porcess and I wanted to keep the cost in line. The sweat equity really bonds me to a car when I revive a chassis. I have a 17000 mile 1970 to approach next. It was undercoated from new and will be much like this project.
I questioned my sanity after working on the left rear for 10 hours one weekend and seeing good results, but wondering if I could get the same results on the rest of the car.
I can still go back and find more to do if I look. Everything was orange/black, control arms, front and rear springs, wheel wells, sway bars, half shafts, splash shields. The worst part was removing the gloss black paint to see bright orange, I felt worse as I progressed to see more orange.
