Abrasive Blasting

[Cliffjumper]

Going to be doing some work this winter on my Barracuda. Removed drivetrain and the car is on stands. Rebuilding engine/trans. replacing fuel/trans./brakes lines ect. Looking for a blaster/compresser setup. Do I need larger than a 7 gallon tank?

You mean as in air compressor tank size? If so then yes you need a bigger one, a 7 gallon tank is VERY small. The volume of air it would hold will be next to nothing and your compressor would be running all the time to keep up with the demand for air needed to do the blasting. With the compressor running all the time to meet that demand, it would burn up the motor in no time. If it were me, I'd get a 60 gallon air compressor.
