I came across a pretty solid 57 Custom 300 Sedan with a 352 automatic floor shift. Since it's a Maine car, it does have some rust in the rear quarters and front fenders. The interior is all there and intact except for the radio. The new property owner just wants it gone for $1,200. Don't know much about the 352 motors if I was to rebuild it. The other option could be a new body for my blown 292 stroker motor. I'm on the fence with this one. Any opinions?

Rono.

Yes, thats basically what I built my shop to do, restore old Fords. As far as the blaster goes I talked to my buddy and he is supposed to send me pics and tell me what brand it is. He did say only one end opened but the complete top flips up, I knew there was some feature to it that was odd.

After the holidays we can look at it, its between my house and shop where he lives.

Merry Christmas.

I bought the 40lb model from Harbor Freight years ago. Very satisfied with it. I replaced the gun with a better quality unit and that made quite a difference. Just got a dust vac/reclaimer unit for Christmas. For the money I think its an excellent investment.

There is a model that has a door on each end and extensions so you can do longer pieces. That would be nice to have if you are doing bumpers or other long pieces.

It would be great to hook up with you guys after New Years. I wanted to get a blast cabinet big enough for a side business that I could use for about anything. Here's a link to one on Ebay that is the make I've been looking at, but this one only has the single door. I like this make because you can also mount a seperate soda blast hopper on the side and also blast with a special grit baking soda.

Thanks for the links to the Harbor Freight blast cabinet. The big one looks pretty good and had good reviews.
