Just get a big ass compressor and a DA sander , you will be sanded in no time . But that is just the beginning of all the hard work , then you gotta start getting it ready to paint  :smile30:

You have a compressor, just go to Northern Tool and get a DA, oh and do not forget to buy the paper to go with it.  :smile16:

It really depends on what all you are going to do with it . If you are going to paint with it you will need to look at the needs of the paint gun you plan to use . Most guns need close to 10 cfm to spray correctly . Alot of the big compressors you see now have smaller pumps on them with a big tank . I bought mine on Craigslist for fairly cheap , it's an older model but it has a big enough pump to get the job done . I have also seen people setup to run two smaller compressors in a tandem setup for painting if they don't have a large one . I have sanded with a small compressor before , you just have to take more breaks from sanding to keep from burning up the compressor , but it does allow time for a cold beverage . There are  alot of people here who know alot more than me about body and paint work , maybe they will chime in . Do you have a compressor at all ? What are the specs if so ?

You can get a cheap DA from Northern , Harbor Freight , I even saw one at walmart a few weeks ago .

I think Kona is pulling your chain a little.  He has a fairly large compressor if I remember correctly...  think.gif

I was positive I saw one in the shop.  He suckered me on that one.  That's what I get for trying to be a nice guy.  crazy.gif
