I use a NAPA # 770-5053 hand held type with 1 Qt. Plastic container, werks great on small jobs. When I need to blast a big piece I take the 1 Qt container off install a hose from the pick up on the gun into a bag of sand and go at it. I never had a problem mess�in up the metal on a N its heavy gauge takes the blast�in. I would like to have a cabinet blaster but until I will wing it.

If you have only a small compressor it probably won't do the job. Why don't you get one of those plastic 55 gallon drums and use electrolysis on everything but the fenders? Cheaper than sandblasting by far. It gets into every nook and cranny.

This photo doesn't show it real well but that's my 8N hood cooking in a drum. Worked perfect.

I'm thinking of doing the same thing, but what is your next move after bare metal? I've heard of etching primer and many other things. I'm wondering,what will you do?

It was primed with some sort of gray epoxy primer
a body shop friend had. But I think even rustoleum stop rust primer would work just as well. The good thing about electrolysis on the hood is that it gets at every part. Something you can't do otherwise.

This photo shows it after I took it out. You do have to flip it though since the barrel is not high enough.

How do you set up for electrolysis? Sounds like a lot of fun

www.toolsplus1.com---inexpensive (offshore) stuff. I bought a cabinet that will take an 'N' front wheel...easily. It was a "deal 'o' the month", or something---$200.00 USD. Needs a larger (10-12 cfm) compressor, but, Boy Howdy ! it sure does a nice job. Small bits..easy. Check it out.

Ive got the small pot on wheels you see in Harbor Freight and all the outlets that holds about 3/4 bag. It cant take over 125 pounds pressure and works quite well down to 60 pounds or so. I have a 5 horse compressor that maintains 6 cfm at 40psi and it keeps up surpisingly well. I have to use the fine sand (white silica) to keep the nozzle from plugging, which is about 1/8 to 3/16. If I go bigger I lose too much air. The black sand from N. Tools is too course and plugs the nozzles. It does a good job on sheet metal, but I sand it to smooth the surface and give it several coats of primer.

on sheet metal try baking soda through your sand blaster dosent streach or pit. little costly, buy 35# bag at sams club or gordens (gfs) or go to a bakery,use in a area to put a tarp down to catch the soda and keep reusing it till it starts to get to soft, works great on aluminun... Gtown Jim
