At least your getting stuff done on this build. It's kinda hard to have 2 build threads going on at the same time. Keep up the good work Allan.

Thanks Dennis, I'm getting stuff done, but tonight I need to beat on some metal but it's too late to start making noise.

I'll find something to do. Going to get this sand blaster tommorrow give me your thoughts on this unit. If it's any good or not. Ronnie brought some parts over that had been sand blasted for a while and has some slight surface rust. The parts are the core support and H/L mount panel. I can sand most of it but not all. I think it would be best to hit it again with the blaster

Same one I have. Offer him $100 even. It's funny you ask about the sand blaster. I was using mine all day today getting in the nooks & crannies on the Lark. What a PITA the clean up is. I had to sweep up all the sand, and sift the dirt out of it before I put it back in the blaster. I did that all day. Then when I was done I had to clean the whole damn shop. There was sand everywhere.

But it did a great job. Do you have a Sandblast Cabinet? If not that's a must too. The next piece of equipment I'll get is a solvent parts washer. I'm getting tired of using spray can brake clean.

That was going to be my offer. I don't have the room yet for a blast cabinet, but I have been looking for a deal I can't pass up. A parts washer would be nice too, but that is at the bottom of the list for now. I could have used it on my tear down. I use a bucket with mineral spirits and a squeeze bottle for now. Thanks for the input.

Ronnie you mentioned a roll pan when you were here saturday, what are you thinking now?

ruffrida2005 · 07-27-2009, 10:17 PM

Alan that's a good blaster. I have a HF one. Mines a 40lb but doesn't have the water trap. The hoses on mine were crappy and need to be replaces. It's basicly the same unit as that one without the wheels. I paid $70 for mine. Make sure you use blasting sand. I used play sand and had to sift the hell out of it. Also Harbor Freight has black diamond for like $7 a 50lb bag. I use the fine grit. works good! I would also say try to find a real sprayer handle for it. You'll know what I'm talking about after you use it.

4dranch · 07-28-2009, 10:04 AM

oh yes he did....................

ruffrida2005 · 07-28-2009, 12:57 PM

Strodder where did you get the spray nozzel on yours? mine is just a ball valve with a tip. I used welding gloves and the hood that came with my blaster but it sucks.

Strodder · 07-28-2009, 02:56 PM

It came with it.

70 Suburban · 07-28-2009, 03:33 PM

Mine is also a ball valve

I was looking at that before I saw the AR-15......maybe I need to go back and read

Alan's Classic · 07-28-2009, 08:47 PM

Thanks for all of the feedback fellars on the blaster. I did pick it up today.

I've never messed with one of these. I put some pressure on it and it works. Don't have a manual, but this looks like it's an adjustable bleed off. I didn't mess with it yet. It starts bleeding pressure at 70 psi. It is adjustable right?

Going to look for a dead man valve. I called tractor supply and was put on eternal hold. Never found out what they had in the store. It needs a new tip. A piece of the ceramic is broken off (not visible in pic).

Got the outside of the tailgate nearly ready for primer. This is what it looks like on the inside. Still in process of sanding.

Also called to get a price on color and clear. I'm going to mix a little at work and spray a panel to make sure it is what he wants.

Strodder · 07-29-2009, 10:25 AM

I get 125 psi from mine, and it looks like yours. Mine isn't adjustable. Why don't you call the company or look them up on the web and ask what the pressure should be? You want to be save. Maybe it's supposed to be at 70 psi.

I can see this going so far of topic...

70 Suburban · 07-29-2009, 12:44 PM

That looks to me like a high pressure relief valve.

Pressure relief valves usually have a ring attached to a shaft. ????
