Yup Siew is a busy guy you need to lock him down and follow-up but he is good, even does carbon resin work too.

As for the mediablaster, blasting a chassis and a body is entirely different, the chassis can take the courser media but you definitely need the walnut shells for the fenders and whatnot otherwise they will be warped-to-f@#k when done.

^ ^ ^ Yup, I have most of the equipment but I still need a full-sized diy booth (with extractor fan & filters) & air-lines etc.
The problem is TIME & Project $$$, especially when setting up a new business hopefully before late next year. :roll:

Will install a wideband to tune them. Have to get a new sensor first. Idle jets and main venturi are in the ballpark of what is needed. May not run the car for the rest of the year.
