[6pack] Sandblasting rust.

[Larry Young]

You have to use low pressure or you will warp sheet metal, like 90 psi 
or less.  I like Dupont Starblast.  Takes it off quickly.  I do it 
outside on a driveway and put up a crude fence to catch most of it.  I 
sweep up and reuse the media, so I can usually do a car body with about 
3 bags.  I think they made them cheaper as they went along, because my 
TR250 had color on all the surfaces, top and bottom.
