The "cough,cough" will hopefully be a project for next year. The tubing was being thrown out at work so I snatched it up. They were already cut these sizes when I got them.

Today, I picked up some blasting grit and a couple quarts of primer. I would like to have the engine, rearend, front axle, and frame primed this week.

Adam, ah... cough:ROTF1::ROTF2:
This will be cool:popcorn:

Nice work Adam, enjoy watching your progress. I like the stripper first idea, less time/money spent blasting/making air to blast. So what are you using for a blaster and what do you have behind it to make air (how many cfm)?

For the smaller pieces, I have a HF floor model blast cabinet and for the bigger pieces I have one of the cheap siphon feed guns. My compressor is a Porter Cable 60 gal. It's output is around 12 cfm @ 90 psi.

The frame and front axle got blasted tonight and the engine got primed. Plan to prime the frame, front axle, spindles, and rearend tomorrow night.

Yup, looks like primer.:biggrin2:
Now, let the shiny color begin...
Looks good Adam:beerchug:

Looking good!! :beerchug::beerchug:

Looks real good in primer Adam, you got any color going yet?

Thanks.
No color yet. Be lucky to get everything in primer before it gets too cold to paint.
