Chemical stripping and media blasting on IL side of STL

[tallhair]

Anyone know of good media blasting services and chemical stripping companies the Belleville, IL area? Would appreciate any sources in ~50-75 ish mile radius east of the river but would prefer to stay on IL side of Mississippi for logistics reasons . However if someone has had good luck with and can recommend a company on west side of the river i WOULD NOT turn my nose up

I've just been searching and getting no luck with crap adverts that come up.

what is best term to google to get what i'm looking for? getting 70 b-body body rust free?

I googled and called around and kept running into dead ends. Finally I called a supply house that sold media blasting supplies and asked them for a list of their customers in my area. I called and interviewed a few of them and asked around various paint supply shops and body shops. I was very pleased with my choice although he was slower than I originally thought. There is a member on here that has given a lot of useful information regarding media blasting and what to look for and what to avoid. Try searching here under "media blast". Unfortunately for you and I he is in Texas if I recall.

UPDATE:

Sorry I don't have an exact answer for you - but this is good info to know when looking for a reputable blaster.
