Re: It finally starts... another S10 swap...
The sandblaster was an upgrade from a pressure blaster that I borrowed from a friend, got tired of it being too small and built a larger one of my own... worked like a charm! As for the compressor, I ended up renting a tow behind diesel one (90 cfm, I believe) for a couple days... used crushed glass as a media with absolutely NO warpage on anything... just keep moving and don't stay on anyone spot for a period of time... The rust, paint and anything else just washed right off... bare steel and ready to prime (used a flat black epoxy primer)!
The blaster was made from a 30 lb propane tank that was in excellent shape ($10 bucks at a scrap yard), an old dolley (cut down and fit), a hand full of plumbing fittings (all steel, no brass) and a 10' length of rubber brakeline ($1.25/ft), a deadman nozzle w/ceramic tips, compression fittings and viola... worked amazingly well! Any questions, holler! Cheers, Ted.
