No, but I used Gemblasters out of Chilliwack for my entire body, frame, rear end, etc. There is no warping to the body panels as the gems do not create heat. go to the site and check them out or you can watch the boring video of my car by going to google search 73 gto restoration. I was quite pleased.

i have done a few cars at redistrip ,the last car i did was a 68 sd 396 beaumont, i did the frame and all sheet medal, im sure it was a lot more than $1300 but after it was pickled witch means nuetrilized from the acid i had all parts fosfaited as well, i think its ok if your car is real rusty but having it blasted is cheeper and its fine just watch your tags such as the fire wall tag, my buddy left his tags on the car and the guy in the wack nere the freeway that was doing the blasting hit the tag and wipped it out so sad for sure, my 68 sd beaumont turned out nice and i have had no troubles with acid bleeding , since i have my own sand blasting machine and do all my own stuff now.

Just got back from the wack,the guy is pretty closed mouth about what he uses,but he figures under about 1500 - 1700 to blast,clean and prime the body and satin black the bottom. Does not sound too bad, considering what a pain it is to paint the bottom.Uses something called "Bullet Proof" warranties it not to peel or chip for ten years.He has been around for 15, so I think I am leaning that way.If I redi strip it I was going to powder coat the shell,but too much moola I think.
