the blast will cost you around $1000 BUT get some thinners n clean all the glue of prior to the blast to get a better job

the blast wont take the glue of you have to do that prior bit of elbow grease ( did my oval 18 months ago )

the 2 holes were for mounting the body to the chassis on the assy line you can weld up if you want

I read it on FACEBOOK so it must be true
