Re: 86 k 20 project "cletus"

Thanks for the suggestions. Well I had a little timeframe misunderstanding with my original sandblaster who was going to sandblast, prime, and paint the frame for about $700 (including a little metal fab frame work). I ended up having to take it to a bit more (by a bit I mean a lot) higher end place. I know they are going to do a great job, but it's going to set me back a full $1,000.

I'd love to do this myself, and save the money, but I work 2 jobs and have a lot of responsibilities outside of work and just don't have the time.

The media blaster should have the whole thing done and painted by this time next week. After that I'm going to take it to another guy who will replace all the bushings in the suspension. Then, I'll bring her home and start putting Humpty Dumpty back together again.
