SANDBLASTING IS ALMOST FINISHED




I thought it was going to rain all day.  If it had, that would have postponed the sandblasting for sure.  But it didn't rain a drop.  Bill spent all day blasting the car.  I thought we would have it done by close of business today, but that didn't happen...not for lack of effort though.











Bill has done a thorough job and you wonder how that is even possible considering all the airborne dust, sand, rust and paint particles hampering your view.  









Good weather is expected tomorrow and we have allotted the entire day to finishing the blasting.  So far we have used 28, fifty pound bags of sand.  Hopefully we have enough to finish the job.  









Don completed the paint prep today on the differential and I applied the primer.  Quite a change, wouldn't you agree.  Tomorrow the final paint will be applied. Notice the gear housing or "hog's head" is masked off.  This part is made of aluminum and we believe it should be unfinished...still researching.





Hope you enjoyed today's post.
