Re: 86 Silverado K20 12V CUMMINS Build

I still to this day need to finish the motor mounts and supports and build a new engine xmember. I went ahead and finished welding the mounts and got to sandblasting / cleaning some parts to prepare for paint.















The glass beads in the enclosed sandblast cabinet does a real nice job.
Then I started cleaning up the oil pan. I wanted to do this off the engine because I thought it was pretty rusty. Turns out it wasn't that bad. Took it outside to sandblast. It would have fit in my cabinet, but glassbeads are not as good on heavy rust. I use cheap sand in the pressure pot outside for heavy rust.




I didn't blast it perfectly clean as a bit of rust works better POR15.





Then started the process....



Powerwash after marine clean and metal prep.





Ready or not it's time for paint. The prep for POR15 is a very long process. I sure hope it is worth it in the end.







2 coats of Gloss POR15.



Lots more to come.....
