FYI, the shop I use for plastic bead blasting charges $600 to do a whole Firebird bare body...a fraction more if you separate the front clip, doors and subframe for complete coverage. $20 for an intake, $75 for a hood (partial only, can't do the flats from the underside). So shop around.

The finish is roughed up enough for excellent adhesion, yet non-destructive enough to protect the threads in manifold bolt holes, and casting mold marks.

13 years of storage is enough that you don't want to try to drive without new front end components or wheel bearings, new brake pads, new master cylinder or rebuild yours, wheel cylinders if drum brake or calipers if disc. Coolant, battery, fuel and oil and filter are also necessities. Replace all rubber lines and hoses. Check the wiring harness for rodent alterations, then try to fire it up. No go? Fill the carb with 1/4 cup of gas through the vent tube in the top of the air horn. A shot or two of starting fluid may be enough to get the engine started before freshening up the carb.

If the car was stored outdoors, you may have to add a few things to your list. Brake lines and fuel lines, battery cables and wiring harnesses all deteriorate quickly in outdoor storage.
