Re: I get my cab home today

So, Shortwide...
Have you been able to pick it up? How's it look?
Hopefully it doesn't look like the 'cherry' '40 Ford that came back from the blaster on the latest espisode of American Hot Rod.

Do you know if blasting (with something 'safer' than sand media) still hardened the metal to some degree?

Re: I get my cab home today

I can't tell you as far as that goes honestly. I'm looking to get some filler down tonight and hopefully primer on it by sometime this weekend (the humidity is killing me with the bare metal)

I know they used glass beads and plastic beads on it.
