Re: Rat repair.

It looks like you are doing everything right. yea the 40 plus years of wear and grim will take a lot out of you. I clean and sand blasted until I was tried of doing it. But that is all behind me now. I worked on the old girl all today and only had to wash my hands not scrub them. it was nice not working in all that grease for a change. Now I am enjoying putting it back together. Good luck and happy building.

Thanks for stopping by! I have been debating on a larger air compressor and a sand blaster, or just hiring the shop down the street for the messy stuff.
