Yeah, I did blast it with the gas tank still in. I tried to stay away from it as much as I could, but I must have hit it with the sand once cause it started leaking all over. Can't figure out why.... the tank looked just as good as the rest of the truck. I have the tank out now and I'll have to go back and blast the frame and floor that I couldn't get before while it was in.

Re: MY 1971 Jimmy Build Thread

So here's what I accomplished last night/this morning. Got the old floor cut out , worked on the area behind the driver's B pillar, tacked the new firewall in, got the body support in and got the fit on the new floor pan pretty close. Oh, and I PORed the cowl area on the driver's side and some of the frame.
