Fellow Minioids,  I just got 8 steel wheels back from my sandblaster and they look great.  Now for some epoxy primer, high build primer and some Old English White.  He said that he could do my 1965 Mini Cooper Deluxe for $500.  I think that is a great deal.  That would save me a ton of time.  I am going that route.  I have sandblasted lots of panels and never warped anything and kept the pressure low.  This guy has done lots of American muscle and British sports cars, which were then restored, plus he is located only 8 miles away.  I may as well have him do the subframes as well.
