Is the body already off the frame? If you have time, check out having the frame galvanized. Several people have had their frames stripped & dipped for less than what many pay just for blasting. I'm talking stripping & galvanizing the frame, control arms and anything else removable for a low of $300 to a hi of about $600, depending on location.
There are several discussions in the archives at chevelle tech. Do a search there for real life stories. Its amazing.
I used POR and like it, but galvanizing gets into all of the nooks & crannies that you could never reach with a spray setup. Be aware that the galvanizers must omit a step so that you can get paint to stick later on. Anyway just thought I'd offer up an option.

I was thinking the other day about sandblasting my frame on the 71 chevelle and as i began to go out back and look at it, i thought of something.In several locations, the frame has divits in the metal....almost like that of a golf ball. Now to dress this frame and make it look good, what would be the options for smothing these dimpled spots.I thought of blasting, then POR-15 gel which is applied like RTV (just smooth it out).Or blast then prime, then body fillerWhat would be the prefered method of smoothing the rough spots on this frame? What have you all done?ThanksKyle
