Thank You!

The sand blasting cabinet and sand I picked up from Harbor Freight. I don't remember the name of the media but it is made for the cabinet. You can get various grits. The shop vac plugs in the side of the cabinet and helps reduce the dust for visibility.

I have been working on the body non-stop. I installed the front clip on the cab without the frame for block sanding for now. It will all come off again for primer and true alignment.




I have color!!! I decided to go with Red. I am starting with the bottom of the bed floor and cab floor...









Welded up the side markers on the bed sides. I am learning this is a lot easier to do the body work, block sanding and prep with the bed disassembled.






I think I will be block sanding for the next 6 months....
