[BaadAssGremlins] Re: Blasting Blasted Parts (a continuing conversation)

["lumina333" <lumina333@xxxxxxxxx>]

The backing plates seemed to do okay for me, Davis. I have a small 
blaster and am using fine grit blasting sand, and it doesn't appear 
to cause any surface damage or warping. I got these plates off 
an '80 Concord which seemed to have better material used than the 
70's Javelins in the junkyard. Why do all the Javelins have such 
bunged up backing plates? Every one I saw had damaged plates. I 
mean, to the point of being unsalvageable! ~Lu~

metal is too thin and it will warp and get lumpy. Sand them and 
clean them with solvent then paint them with SEM Rust- Shield.
