sandblast a rolling chassis
Posted: September 24th, 2018, 9:32 pm
I want to have as many parts as possible of my rolling chassis prepped and primed before winter. This would include the frame, suspension, rear end/torque tube, wishbone, and front end. There's a good sandblasting/paint shop near me and the easiest would be to roll the chassis on a trailer and take to them.
I'm planning on disassembling the leaf springs and would like to make that job as easy as possible. I also intend to restore the differential, and of course all the brakes, linkage, and drums.
So here's the question: What parts of a rolling chassis can be sandblasted, and what parts cannot? I'm concerned about sand in bearings, bushings, through breather holes, etc.
If some parts are off limits to sandblasting, how does a guy get them ready to paint?
