Holy shit.. Amazing. Speechless. Don’t touch anything else. Just preserve and walk away. May I ask to see closeups when you have it in hand of the comfort weave and the grain on the door panels.?.

Man that ice blasting works so nice! I've gotta get that done to my Camaro sometime. Thanks for posting the pics Charlie.

Not sure if this was ever brought up or not? But can one use this dry ice blasting to strip the body of a car with bad paint? Looking at a 78 Z28 that is badly laquor cracked paint. So I could get this done?
Thanks, John

THANK YOU Lee. I wonder how this compares to Soda and Walnut shells for removing exterior body paint?

I have a friend who has a good size environmental company. I think last time we talked about this, he had 6 machines. Might be able to get one for 3 days here and there for some shop projects. He's the type of guy that says, "buddy, just take it and only pay for consumables!"

BUT I will be 56 next month. Might be a good wage to supplement some retirement $$$ in the somewhat near future.

So even if I stayed a bit futher away and took twice as long, so be it.

Keep in mind that with Dry Ice, the only thing you clean up is the blasted off paint because the Dry Ice turns to CO2 gas when it warms up. Less of a mess to clean up.

EZ Nova 01-15-2022 03:04 PM

Lee, that is exactly why I'm looking at doing this.

Very nice.

My Burnished Brown 69 Z28 with 24k miles.

cook_dw 01-25-2022 10:43 PM

Is it for sale?

67since67 01-25-2022 11:48 PM

Oh man, I want this one too!! I'm not normally a fan of BB, but with white stripes and interior that is drop dead stunning!!

grantprix 01-25-2022 11:59 PM

I agree, what a great color combo!!

1967Z28 01-26-2022 02:57 AM

There was a Burnished Brown flat hood '69 Z in Santa Barbara back in the 70s with the white interior like that. I thought it looked pretty sharp.

L72Biscayne 01-26-2022 07:42 PM

That's some car porn. Just beautiful. Burnish Brown is a classy color. Looks so good with White.

Very nice Z Charley!! Love the brown with white interior. Sits nice and low like a Z should.

Pro Stock John 01-27-2022 12:42 AM

Nice BB Z.

Looks like dry ice blasting would be a good idea on any old crusty car.

How hard is it on rubber and non-metal components?

Charley Lillard 01-27-2022 11:47 PM

It’s fine. They have even done headliners.

luzl78 01-28-2022 12:30 AM

Anybody in New Jersey doing dry ice blasting?

Kurt S 01-29-2022 01:33 AM

Several years ago, a good friend of mine told me her dad had this all-original Z. Glad it found a good home. :)

Dry Ice Blasting- Game changer
 
Dry Ice Blasting is a game changer for cars sold in the rust belt that had undercoating applied at dealer, Rusty Jones/Ziebart. The underbody results are amazing and virtually non-invasive.
