I think I'll see a sandblaster next week, and get some ideas from him. My '65 I sandblasted the bottom myself. With it up on a lift. It took a lot of time, and was very difficult to work around the lift. That time I was just blasting to get some rust off, and to clean it before putting some heavy duty paint on it. This time the underside is freaking mess!
