Dwight,
I feel your pain. I did my frame with the smaller siphon rig and it took three weekends (6 days total) to complete my frame. I even had the larger compressor (construction type, 125 CFM) but the limiting factor was the siphon rig. When I blasted the body I just loaded my rig up on a trailer and took it someplace I could use the companies pressure blaster. There I could utilize the 125 CFM. The pressure blaster put out a pattern about 8" in diameter as opposed to the 1/4" pattern of the siphon blaster. I estimate that my frame would have taken about 4 hours to complete if I had used the large blaster!
