I hear you loud and clear on this one. I think the same way as you on doing my own work. I checked into a guy who came recommended to me. After seeing his outfit, grit size, and pressure he blasted at, the only thing i'd trust taking to him would be army tank.
I have searched along time to find a blaster who would do it as I would. I found one through word of mouth. He doesn't advertise. Him and his sons do it as a side job. I've seen car bodies he blasted and all was ok. So I think i'm safe on the heavy chassis and such I took him.
He'll even spray epoxy primer if you want him to.

It sounds like you went through a lot with your cancer and such, and i'm glad you beat it. The good Lord kept you hear for a reason. I'd like to think it was to restore Model A Fords. I suspect he has other plans for you.
