GT project, Big Day.......three years later.....make that five (!) years Options

Big day for my GT project.
Getting a combination soda blast and garnet blast on my bare chassis and all the
removable panels.
The baking soda is used to remove paint and is suitable for the body panels.
The garnet is much more course and removes surface rust on the undersides.
I hope I did enough to keep it out of the longs and all the other cavities.
Fingers crossed.

Is that you doing the blasting? You might not be able to keep out every bit of dust, but with a bit of effort you can get most of it. The sound of the engine will drown out anything that is rattling around in the longs anyways

Not me, I took the pic.
Two guys doing one hour stints each. All day.
Soda on the outside bodywork and garnet on the bottom.
The noise was friggin' LOUD
I specified a weekday so most of my neighbors were out.
I would have dipped and E coated but the longs were already reinforced.
I used duct tape, dum dum, butyl and hardware to fill every hole along the longs
the rollbar, the windshield frame and all crossmembers.
I'v only done preliminary blow and vacuum cleaning so far.
The ability to roll the car over easily is key to removal of contamination.
I added a picture of removal of the Karmann tag.
I levered the rivets out from behind.
