Hi Guys-
Putting out some feelers here, gauging interest...
Thanks to chrisf here on FABO and his soda blasting business in Salmon Arm, BC (see http://www.forabodiesonly.com/mopar/...ad.php?t=80762), I now have a completely new career goal away from sitting on my butt in front of a keyboard 50-60 hrs /week (thanks chrisf!:cheers:).
Something much more in line with my project Valiant, and a whole lot more fun: SODA/MEDIA BLASTING! I'm going to start kinda small with a nearly brand new RIDGID 5.5hp 135psi compressor that I got a great deal on, and one of Eastwood's Master Blaster Dual Blaster units: http://www.eastwood.com/soda-blastin...k-blaster.html, and then work my way up to a full-scale tow behind set up.
I'm going to start with my own '65 Signet convertible and do it in my garage, getting her down to clean pretty sheetmetal (or rotten cruddy bondo and rust :angry7:). Now, since the weather's getting MUCH nicer now here in the Central Coast/South SF Bay area, I'm sure some of you are rolling your projects out of the garage and going "Keeeeeriiiist, just LOOK at all that nasty peeling paint, bondo, and rust on my ride! ARRRRGH! WHAT do I do and WHO can I turn to?"
(You might see where this is leading :-D)
How does $50/hr + soda/media (around $80). sound to my fellow FABO'ers? I see rates like $100-$200/hr out there, but I'm just starting out, and I want to give my fellow FABO crew a square deal. I'll take on any project large or small, as long as I can do it in my garage here in Santa Cruz, CA (for now). I'm totally open to trades/barter for help/parts I need, too.
Help a fellow A-body lover do what he LOVES, not just what he HAS to do. Let me know, thanks for lookin'!
Daniel
