Next step, Sand blasting

[MNilson]

So the other Xpit project moves forward

I got the new tubes welded in
Aluminum is in, cut and being bent
Rivets are on order
Picked up the new body
Hans device was delivered
Fuel cell looks good
Pedals are moving 3 inches in so I can reach them.
So now is the time to get the frame cleaned and ready for paint.
Still need to pick up the belts and trailer from Nigel... so

Any shops around to blast the frame?

RDL Industries on Albion Road. They also do powdercoat Mike

Thanks Pat

I understand that RLD has outsourced thier sandblasting and the prices has risen accordingly. Looking for an alternative.

There is a place on the road to Almonte from 416. Sorry, don't remember the name.

There used to be another place in the industrial park that houses the OZDOME, again, no name.

Majestic Auto in Manotick do blasting as part of their restoration business.

I haven't actually used any of these & have no info on the quality/price of their work.

I once had some sandblasting done by a company the did gravestones! They were down near the intersection of Somerset & Welllington, so not far from your place.

I suggest trying Ottawa Quality Paint Finishing (http://oqpf.ca/home.php) They did the groomer for us.

I'll email you Eric's contact info.

Hmm - I used to know a guy that did it out in a field - mostly media blasting old car frames and bodies.... I'll see if i can get his contact info.

Blast-it-all.

They are now located on Hwy 29 about 200 m north on the left from the Hwy 49 (March Rd) / Hwy 29 stop light.

My go to place for blasting.

[MNilson]

Blasting? You do mean SAND blasting?! Right?

[Chris_A]

Yes, sand blasting. I'm sure that if you want some stuff blowed up they'd oblige though.
