You shared it with a dick.

I have a 25 gal craftsman compressor and it blasted for about 20 seconds before it was empty. I had to take my parts and blaster to work to get enough air to use the soda blaster for any amount of time.

Also there are even lower cost options, I used this:

Soda blasting does work very well. I would ask around though and try to find a professional but cheap blasting shop. If you were in Denver I could hook you up with the best place.

You're cracked in at least three places; the top two in the image are contributing to number three in the bottom. You have about a year before they go critical from what I can see.

e: there's a fourth on the second rib up high in the weld similar to number one, and it wouldn't surprise me if there's not a fifth in the same spot on the rear rib.

ee: if number two is a "notch" it shouldn't be there period. Full stop.

You're seeing shadows that look like cracks. But good looking out, and yeah sandblasting and powdercoating would be on the menu if he wants to re-use them later.
