a friend showed me an attachment for his pressure washer. it attaches to the end of the gun and the water flow siphons the sand out of a bucket. i am a little concerned the stream of water/sand mix may have a greater tendencey to distort sheetmetal such as grill and fenders. anybody wih experience with this type of sandblasting with an opinion?

sounds like the perfect way to start rust in all the wrong places

thanks for the replies. from that link to th 67-72 site it looks as if rust could be a problem as red58 suggests if panel is left bare.no one followed up with any major problems so i may give this a try on the 54 grill

If you immediately hit it with a phosphoric acid metal prep wash it shouldn't be a problem.
