Well the guys at BD&G Sand Blasting were good at their word...they told me they'd have the body bead blasted by the following day, and they were good at their word. I got a call at 7:30 the next morning saying it was ready for pick up! It's now at Gongora's Auto Body.
Some body rot was found after sand blasting (see photos) but should not be a problem.
Now to decide on the color combo I want to have. There are 5 standard Ford color
schemes for 1931:
Upper body/Lower body/Stripe & Wheels
Thorne Brown/Thorne Brown/Straw
Lombard Blue/Black/Hesian Blue
Chicle Drab/Copra Drab/Straw or Tacoma Cream
Kewanee Green/Elkpointe Green/Apple Green
Black/Black/Apple Green.
I've been leaning toward Chicle Drab/Copra Drab but we also like Kewanee Green with Straw wheels. Chicle/Copra seems to have had many different variations over the years with shades from greenish to brownish to grayish. The greenish is our favorite and I don't like the gray but the brown is Ok.
Input anyone?
