How expensive is it to rent a sand blaster?

Beware of liberals posing as Americans.
I found a burial stone maker and had a snow plow sandblasted. It only works if you are stripping it down totally. Otherwise, gasoline and a wire brush. Once you get it down to metal in spots it should be cleaned and primed quickly.
You are going to be removing some of those leaf springs ?

There are shops that restore autos who can dip your frame then seal it. May pay to call around and see if one is close. There was a place on Rt46 in or around Parsippany years ago that did this when they restored Bugs. They dipped the whole car.
Haven't seen it in awhile, but, you might try Naval Jelly if it's still available ... I cleaned a rusted harley frame a few years back with it ... worked pretty well ... bottom line, short of dipping or blasting (both pricy) hard work is gonna be the key

I realy like the leaf spring look. SO I have been reading. I can remove a spring or 2 to make it less stiff
If it does not work im not out anything but time

A friend of mine used a sand blaster from a friend for some parts, pretty messy, he didn't do that again, he took some parts someplace and I think he said they soda blasted it, not sure about this, but he said it wasn't as messy and turned out just as good as the sand.
All for now Trampas
FuzzyWuzzy post #6 suggested Naval Jelly. I used this years ago but didn't know either if you could still get it. You can at of all places a Wal Mart. When I used it years ago it worked really well. Just brush it on wait a while then hose it off light sanding then prime.
