Very cool project! I'm a little late to the party, but I'm going to watch the rest of the action.

Thanks! I'm looking forward to more progress too, unfortunately my shop is two hours drive from where I live, so I usually only get about 12-16 hours in on the weekend.

Re: 1968 GMC "Camillian"
I did a little cut and buff to get some dust and minor runs out. I have to say it turned out great!

Re: 1968 GMC "Camillian"
Got several things painted, cab, doors, fenders and best of all, the hood! Also, the bed should be on for the last time.

Thanks for the compliments! The sandblaster is from Rural King (don't know of you have those around you) it is a forty pound pressurized unit. From what I can tell it is the same as the harbor freight blaster except it's painted black instead of red. It defenitely is not the best blaster in the world but for as little as I will use it it works very well, especially for the price. I don't remember exactly, but it was somewhere around $75.
