Another 300 pounds of sand and 4 hours later we are 2/3 done. Rain is expected tomorrow so I brought the frame inside. It's a messy job but somebody has to do it. Anybody know where Ty is?
Purchased in Hawaii in 2009, our split window coupe has a 327 fuel injected engine and the very rare Heater Delete option. Our Corvette was restored over a 4 year period using original 1963 components. Modifications were limited to those popular in the late 1960's. Our vision... Period Correct/Era Modified.

Sandblasting the Frame - Day One
This post includes a video. Be sure to push the play button.
4 hours and 300 pounds of sand completed 1/3 of the frame. A good 30 minutes and 50 lbs. of sand was used trying to find the proper air volume and sand flow.
The base metal and welds look real good. These 2 holes will be repaired soon.
This A frame cleaned up nicely. All suspension components will be removed then detailed inside the sandblasting box.
