Before I go any farther I need to get a better compressor, because I need to start sandblasting some of the harder to reach areas as i begin drilling out the spot welds etc. I will be using abrasive wheels on the outer panels and some of the interior to prevent warping any of the body with the sandblaster.

Here are the two compressors I am looking at, anyone have any options on which one to get, the specs are better on the Central Pneumatic but I like the Ingersoll Rand brand. The CP is a two stage and the IR is a single stage, but the IR has almost as good of specs.

I will be using a pressure blaster from Easton and a 60/80 grit abrasive.
