Bill, I have own blasting equipment, the tent idea is a good way of containing the blast media, I'd still do it outside.
I'd choose a quiet day when there isn't anybody about, if possible.
However, I still only do small items and do them carefully at as low a pressure as possible, this takes a long time, a wing/fender could take me 30-40 mins, maybe longer with underseal on the inside, so imagine how long a shell will take.
So even for me, I would send the shell out for blasting, but I would only get the underneath, engine bay, boot/trunk floors and inside floors done, no fenders, trunk lid, hood/bonnet or roof, as the chances are they will ruin them.
I understand soda blasting is less aggressive, but it's more expensive and safer, maybe this is your best option.
