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...

Rumor Has it!

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.
Hopefully Hell has a Mudpit!!!

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.
Hopefully Hell has a Mudpit!!!

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
