The tiger has been sandblasted. The undercoating on my car was going to be=
impossible to remove without a ton of time and making a horrible mess of t=

s as I spent a good bit of time getting sand out. The blaster uses gorilla=
tape to protect the vin tags. I am really happy that its all done. I epo=

hold.
Next step is to put the Front and Rear end on the car so it rolls and then =
take it to the frame shop to fix the passenger front rail. Will let him te=
ll me if I need a replacement or if he can bend it back. Or the 3rd possib=

The sand blast did uncover significant amounts of bondo. I think the car w=
