OK, a lot shorter this time.
I've found a few media/sand blasters, and would like to hear opinions on these--processes, companies, etc. Which/Who is your favorite and why?
Body shops are another thing altogether. The typical conversation so far has been:
"Hi there, I'm wondering if you have experience working on classic minis?"
"On what?"
or
"Uh, yeah, we've done a few of those."
Not inspiring a lot of confidence.
I am willing to travel for the right shop, but hope to stay in WA/OR/No. CA, etc. if I can. I will be doing full bare metal restoration, and will expect to be allowed in the shop to document the process with photographs for the future buyer. I also hope to be able to find someone who will let me remove the subframes and then paint behind them, etc. Possibly undercoating, but not sure on that.
Who's the Mini Master around these parts?
