PDX great job on the bead blasting. Are you using a cabinet? Also where do you get you glass beads in different grits?

I really like where you're going with this truck. A nice dependable drivetrain combination, and a very slick use of other parts from different vehicles. This is my kind of build!

Thanks, man. You did quick work on that suspension mod and the truck looks much better.

Sorry on the mix up the way I wrote what I did. I actually just used an 80 grit glass bead and then the rest was hand sanded to the point it is now. I use the cabinet that I made out of a 55 gal drum and I get my blasting media from a local outfit here in Portland. Very inexpensive compared to retail outfits. I think I paid about $10-$15 dollars for a 50lb bag.

I don't really have anything to show for the last week or so but I have been doing a little work on Sanity. My new trans came with a black paint job that didn't match my vision and there was some casting crud on the case so I decided to strip it all off and prep and paint it over with Eastwood's aluminum paint. The stripping and sanding is done but I ran out of time to get it sprayed. I hope to get it done on Wednesday.
Other than that, I chased down some nuts and bolts I needed and cleaned up the shop. Once the paint dries on the trans I'm pretty much ready to get it mated to the engine and get them installed in the chassis.
