Joe,
Glad that Jason had a good frame for you. Nice guy and he has always been very fair on prices. Like I said you could hit the powder coat shop with a rock from Jason's shop, you will be happy I am sure with how it turns out. My 58 frame was REALLY nice to start with so it turned out really good. If you go the soda blast route just make sure that you wash it really well after blasting as the sodium bicarbonate will leave a film on. After washing it you can use a product called hold tite 102 it removes the film and then will allow you to epoxy prime the bare metal. There is a shop over here that does soda blasting called Stowe Auto Body he is extremely difficult to get a quote out of though he will always say its time and materials. I had mine chemically dipped to clean all the metal and it went back to get re cleaned 2 weeks ago and will get E-coated after. I will post up pictures when its back. I have several pictures on my photobucket account of the first time through the tanks. Would have liked to have gone to Spring Jefferson but I have been working 7 days a week for the last 3 weeks so I haven't had any free time.
