[Tigers] Tiger information / Dry ice blasting

A few days ago Harbor Frt. had 2 temperature heat guns for $5.00.  Not sure if the sale is still on or not.   Who can say about the quality, but for 5 bucks !

Took all the undercoating off my Tiger with a 1000 watt hair blower and a putty knife and screwdriver.  It helped it was winter time and the car was on a rotisserie.  Cleaned up with paint thinner and all the factory primer was still in good shape.  The floorboards were perfect on my car, but the trunk floor, lower front fender, rocker panel and lower rear quarter were shot.  The car was only 11 years old at the time.  So much for Rootes rust prevention.

Hello all,
I bought my Tiger in 1976, and the guy that I bought it from had executed a new exterior paint job that was really nice (it covered over the rust quite well!). To hide the surface rust in the trunk, he coated it with some tarry substance that has NEVER set up; still stickyish. Time to fix this mess.
Several years ago, in Auto Restorer magazine there was an article about a guy in Colorado that had a Dry Ice Blasting system in the back of his open bed truck. He could drive to jobs and do the deed. There is a local company in Salem MA called ServPro (franchise) that quoted me between $ 2200 - $ 2400 to dry ice blast the trunk floor of my Tiger. I choked. They said they'd have to rent a machine, get the dry ice pellets, etc and then do the deed.
Does anybody know of a company in New England or Eastern Upstate NY that has a machine and could do it for less that $ 1,000 ?
