198PLUS - when your powder coater did the springs, did he extend the spring while it was being coated? If not they might have the coils stuck together and will chip off the coating when installed and extended. I know, it happend to me on one of my old projects...
Parts look good. Is that a semi gloss black? Alan is doing a great jobon your truck. |

No it's not on a die grinder. It comes as one tool. It's great for removeing seam sealer on late model cars. They are pricey. I don't even have one. This was a fellow bodyman's. He just let me try it. |

On that frame I did I used a 4 1/2" grinder with a twisted wire wheel on it and it took it down to bare metal in no time. Much faster than sand blasting. I got into the places that the wire wheel couldn't get with the sand blaster. The only thing with the wire wheel is the wire breaks off and sticks in you you every ware. I looked like a fricken porcupine. And bleeding out of all the holes it made. :lol: That only happens when the wheel is getting too worn. I try to get the most out of it as I can.

I CANT IMAGINE THAT A WIRE WHEEL WOULD BE THAT MUCH FASTER THAN SAND BLASTING. i DID A LONG BED, BED IN ABOUT 2-3 HRS INSIDE AND OUT TO BARE STEEL.

Besides that you don't have to yell. :lol: This is before. http://belair.smugmug.com/photos/191160851_JxeKB-L.jpg This is after, and I sprayed etching/sealer primer on it right away. http://belair.smugmug.com/photos/219342623_e3nV6-L.jpg http://belair.smugmug.com/photos/196801845_BWbBA-L.jpg And here's the frame after I put it together. Let me tell you it was well worth the $1,100.00 to get it all sand blasted and power coated. Besides the customer paid for it, and I made a $200 profit. I charged him $1,300.00 and he was very happy with the results. http://belair.smugmug.com/photos/253563390_HKPJ2-L.jpg I'm not trying to show off my work. I just wanted to show what a difference it is to get it done by a professional sand blasting / powder coating shop. For me it was a good idea, but not for everybody. Time is money, and I keeped busy while it was getting done. |
