Yes- I fit in it.

Chris:
$25 per wheel is cheap in my area. If you have a compressor, bucket, and an area outside that you can get very messy, you can buy a cheap blaster kit that pulls sand from a bucket, or bag. http://cgi.ebay.com/Air-sand-blast-s...d=p3286.c0.m14

That's not a horrible price. You may be able to find a metal finishing shop that will do them a bit cheaper.
To do it yourself you need a good sized compressor. It take a lot of CFM to sand blast. |

sandpaper is like 5$ for a multi-pack of different grits....just takes more time

$65 is cheap. He probably needs the money.
