looking to get my frame blasted so can start workin on the new truck....
so simple my question is is it cheaper to buy a 1 time harber freighter blaster for under 100 plus cost of sand at 35 a bag or is there a reasonable place around midland...
If ur gonna do a lot of sand blasting then id buy 1. If ur gonna do 1 thing then get it done.

My cousin and I may be doin puddlejumper's frame here shortly, what is this frame? Longbox, shortbox, ext Cab, fullsize, midsized? We are charging him $250 for his Colorado reg cab frame.
guy here in town charged me 275 to do mine and it was a crew cab short box frame with axles.

its a k5 frame......where ur place lacated?
Birch run. I would guess $225 u drop it off. Or $275 we come get it? I just have to run this by my cousin first, as he would be doin most of the work.
wire wheel it.
Another consideration is you need a pretty substantial air compressor to sand blast for any length of time=electricity.
id personally buy one, as im sure you'd find more uses for it through out the years it would last. i bought one about 5 years ago. still use it, picked it up used for 75 bucks, and i run it off a 150 psi fat max with a 60 gal air tank. works fine for me. when i need more air, means i need more beer. works for me. lol
