Re: Grizz's Redneck Express 1966 Chevy Short Fleetside RESTO-GO!

Life continues to get in and out the way over here at Grizz Towers.

This weekend I had some plans for the garage......

Never happened, but I got a new MOT on the bike, cut neighbour Mickeys grass, watered all their garden plants and had a haircut.
Some other tasks like resanding all the paving I previously cleaned made short work of the day.

Sunday I spent some time at a bootfair and another 6 hrs cleaning the rest of the paving.

After this I tried to get Martin's blasting pot to work.

FAIL......

MacQuigly has used one to great success, so there is still hope.

It either trickles as weak stream of sand or blows clear air....... Or every now and then it does what it's meant to do, clearing old paint fast.

So half a bag of kiln dried sand looks like this.....



Resulting in this after about 20 minutes of trying to get it to work.



Advice...???


In other news, Mate Dennis ended up spunking $850.00 on two new bedsides in Kansas City, and then promptly cut them up today......



He has had to move the wheel arch forward to get it central and also to fit the NASCAR chassis he is using for his build.

Balls of steel.



More later.
