Thanks for that DPowers!

It has been too long since I updated but Ive been in teardown mode and finally took the first few parts to the sandblaster today. It's a start.



Recapping since last post

I removed the transmission and engine, first time doing that and it went well



Got the engine on a stand and starting to make repairs on the info and help Im getting from this thread.

Next is learn how to set up a paint booth in my 1 car garage with the space I actually have to work in since the frame and cab are still in the way. Once the blaster has those parts ready this week I'll have another first and thats painting the parts with epoxy primer to prevent flash rusting from setting in. Ill be doing this blasting in spurts, smaller stuff I can haul in the back of a 96 accord and then look to rent a moving truck for the bigger items as I go.
