engine + trans removal and soda blast ?'s
I own a 1966 Mustang that I have 95% striped minus the trans and motor. I believe I have everything disconnected, but I'm not sure! Can someone give me a hand? I'm also about to have the car soda blasted soon. Do I need to remove my fuel and brake lines (no fluid)? What 100% needs to be removed before the blast.

Never heard of soda blast. Might you mean sand or media (bead) blast? There is no need to remove anything that isn't going to get blasted.
PM me about adding a signature picture.

OK, I learn something every day. I looked it up. http://www.pacificsodablast.com/ It seems it won't hurt the metal like sand blasting, and much more environmentally safe than chemical paint removers.

The thing that is key is in media blasting is not to heat up the thin areas of the car. Heating the metal will warp or distort the thin panels. Walnuts can also be used. After the blasting is done the exposed metal should be either primed or coated with a light oil to prevent rusting. If the metal is left exposed more than 12 hours it will oxidized. This also depends on the time of year and where you live.
My 2 cents.
