Very jealous of your blasting progress. I spent half the day today trying to get my blasting cabinet to work without any real success. You mind if I ask what media you are using, the pressure you are running the cabinet at and what nozzle tip you are using? This stuff is like black magic to me.

Re: My Dusty 71 GMCe Electruck
sorry guys and gals it was literally 106°F today and 200° in the Good Enuff Garage so as much as I wanted to shoot a video I'm sure the camera would not have worked in the sauna

Re: My Dusty 71 GMCe Electruck
Ha, just got back in town and went through the steering column build. I had those same "doodads" when I built mine. Also, that bracket you built looks a lot like the ones I 'found' for my front bumper to mount to the S10 frame.

Getting close, can you feel it yet?
