A copper block backing plate works really well to weld up holes too. I bought one that has a handle on it and use it all of the time.

you can also use a scrap piece of copper pipe with one end flattened in a pinch...

I've got that!

**Dieselwrencher** · 02-05-2011, 12:09 AM

A brass punch works well too.

silverboy02 · 02-05-2011, 12:30 AM

Nice work Drew! Thanks for the update with pictures. I can't wait to see the sandblasting pics. I just did some of that a while back.......fun.

drewskiren · 02-05-2011, 02:42 PM

Morning pics.

Final prep before blasting.

Working with my 2 boys!

VA72C10 · 02-05-2011, 07:12 PM

Looking good guys

Are you sure my schedule wasn't right....you're really moving on the truck right now...you might be done before your target date if you can keep this pace up

I wish I could finish early, but I'm sure I will run long.

Prime in, out, and under Everything, complete airbag system, build rear suspension, finish all body work, edge in everything, paint everything white and blue, convert A/C system, convert brake system, convert steering system, trans linkage, convert complete wiring systems, mount all under hood items, reassemble entire truck after paint, redo entire interior, whew!

drewskiren · 02-06-2011, 12:41 AM

Saturday night pics.

Gotta make progress right?

Sarah and Elizabeth, the master blasters.

Sweet tailgate from Arizona cleaned up really well.

Raised floor section for gas tank is ready for seam sealer, then we can paint the bottom of cab floor, bed floor, and inside bed on Sunday.

VA72C10 · 02-06-2011, 01:31 AM

Looking great!!!

**Dieselwrencher** · 02-06-2011, 01:32 PM

Very nice! It's great the whole family gets involved!

extremesounds13 · 02-06-2011, 06:49 PM

Looks great!! I can't believe how fast you work!

drewskiren · 02-06-2011, 09:05 PM

Sandblaster with good air pressure is the bomb!

Cowl panel is perfect, how better to get the paint off all the grooves?!

Bed is painted up, but night time pics are no good. Ready to undercoat bottom of the bed, and I might go ahead and Rhino line inside the bed now instead of waiting.

67chevy1series · 02-06-2011, 09:07 PM

wow looks clean! if i had a metal floor i would have hoped it would be this nice....

I know I'm a little late, but how did that Eastwood's soda blaster work for you? I'm thinking about getting that combo sand/soda blaster they have, but am not sure if I would get the results I'm after

It worked great. I have used it twice now, but the first time I didn't have enough air compressor. Now I have a very large 220 Ingersol Rand and it worked great. The thin original paint came off so fast it was ridiculous. The bed that had original paint and a roll on bedliner was a lot slower. I used 2.0 cutting abrasive, a very powdery sand. Never tried soda.

**lolife99** · 02-06-2011, 09:09 PM

Be careful sandblasting sheetmetal.
I've seen it warp the panels.

I have seen it myself, I figured the bed bottom wouldn't matter since it's so beat up anyway. The cowl only had the factory paint and it was so thin it took all of 3 minutes to blast the whole thing.

VA72C10 · 02-06-2011, 09:41 PM

Looks good! I'd say since it isn't perfect according to you and you plan to use it, I'd line the underside and the top.

drewskiren · 02-07-2011, 12:54 PM

All trucks can go forwards and backwards and side to side.

I think mine should go up and down too.

Tease!
