I have been blasting a few Panteras, using sand with powerfull professional 
equipment thet take one large airpump to feed. One also use full body clothing
and fresh air mask. 
It is no problem wrapping larger aeas by just blast in a 90 dgr angle for a short 
while. I couldnt really tell if wrapping comes from heat or by sand hammering the 
panel to a sligt larger dimension. So I newer blast those outer skin areas, and 
dont see any real reason for doing so. The body asphalt is faster to remove 
by hand anyway.
But the more tricky areas around suspension mounting, inside the coupe, engine 
compartment and frame areas, are places that realy pay to blast. I allways blast 
totally stripped body, and after all wellding work to get rid of weldig oxide.
Its a full day work...
