Thanks Jeff.

Not much progress, but I did change out the sand in the blast cabinet with black diamond media, and what a difference. Sand isn't a good idea anyways for several reasons. Other than health reasons, it turns to powder and I can't see anything inside the cabinet. I'd have to stop and let the dust clear. Now I can blast for a while.

I blasted my bumper fillers, that's the only progress on the truck so far.

Swing by and pick me up. You have no idea how long it's been since I've rode in one of the trucks. Well except in my basement. Lol

Re: Project Vitamin C-10

I got to play a little with a small TIG welder today. Shannon brought it over to see if I like it or not. We will try some sheet metal tomorrow. I am by no means a TIG welder, but it doesn't look too bad.

Re: Project Vitamin C-10

I would love to get a TIG welder. I had looked at one of these and almost bought one. I held off for now to finish other items that are more important than getting a new welder now.

https://www.thermadyne.com/Thermal%2...3in1/index.php

These machines can do DC TIG, MIG and Stick. If you are not going to do any Aluminum TIG welding, this is a great machine. I think you can add a spool gun for the MIG to do Aluminum. You would need an AC TIG to do Aluminum correctly.

I've been eyeing one a buddy has that has a lot of the bells and whistles. Shannon brought this one home for me to try. I really don't need one right now, but if it's a deal.

I couldn't remember for sure if I've seen it before. Since you posted your pix I remember now going thru your thread. Thanks for the pix. Nice work.







There seems to be alot of room for the linkage. There is a big cavity all the way across the top.
