Happy anniversary, Gregski! Have fun celebrating!

Re: My Dusty 71 GMCe Electruck
 

Happy anniversary! My parents are celebrating their 62nd today. What did she see in you?

Re: My Dusty 71 GMCe Electruck
 

Im confused is she your ex fiance because she became your wife (weird way of putting it, but you have some weird ways lol), or is this someone that left you at the alter?

Re: My Dusty 71 GMCe Electruck

powder coated door striker plates ( think the weird one that's just glare it powder coated nice and even )

not sure if burning off the excess oil off them spacers was a wise choice, they were perfect black(ish) in color before I done did that

the hood hinge Spreaderator 3000

media blastin' and powder coatin' friendly

Re: My Dusty 71 GMCe Electruck
 

I like it. When I painted my hood springs, they were collapsed, so of course the paint is only on the outer portions of the coils.

Re: My Dusty 71 GMCe Electruck
 

You will probably run into the Faraday Effect when powdering the spring. The tight variance between the springs will make it so that the powder has trouble sticking. You may want to consider Hot Flocking the spring (shoot the powder when the part is hot) this will allow for the tight spaces to get covered with powder. Just a suggestion. Enjoy!

Next we want to see the spring finger pincher reconnected to hinged marvel hand mangler.. ....your parts are looking better than new, how is the shop vac holding up with the sand blasting sand?

Re: My Dusty 71 GMCe Electruck
 

They look great! Well done!

Re: My Dusty 71 GMCe Electruck
 

I died laffin' when I read this and coffee shot out of my nose :haha::haha::haha:

big bertha is the bomb, I learned something that I want to share with other Rookie media blasters like me, the way you tell you speced your shop vac correctly for your media blasting cabinet is when it can suck the gloves right in to the box and hold them up in the air without your hands in them

but seriously the vac sucktion issue has been taken care of
