Re: 1969 Short Wide
Well, I got some progress this evening. Got the front control arms primered and ready for rebuilding and paint. I still have to swap out the bushings and dust covers.
Next I spent 3 hours jerking around with that pesky portable sand blaster I borrowed. It works good if you can keep pressure and media to the gun. It's very very slow and tedious. Not sure if I'm gonna do the whole frame now or just the worst spots. Got them pretty well rust free and primered and painted them with some the Rustoleum hammered finish paint. It looks pretty good. I will probably do the frame and suspension with it too. its cheap too;) On to the pics: Primered the front control arms and parts http://i14.photobucket.com/albums/a3...uck/69-132.jpg Sandblasting.....sucks:waah: http://i14.photobucket.com/albums/a3...uck/69-133.jpg http://i14.photobucket.com/albums/a3...uck/69-134.jpg Before finish sanding and primer http://i14.photobucket.com/albums/a3...uck/69-135.jpg http://i14.photobucket.com/albums/a3...uck/69-137.jpg http://i14.photobucket.com/albums/a3...uck/69-138.jpg http://i14.photobucket.com/albums/a3...uck/69-139.jpg http://i14.photobucket.com/albums/a3...uck/69-140.jpg |

They look great!
Yes, Sandblasting is tedious. Sand and dirt everywhere, In your ears, hair, even in your shoes and pockets. But the before and after comparisons, show all that hard work! Spike:smoke: |

If a guy had access to a commercial compressor and tons of media it would make quick work of it. |

Re: 1969 Short Wide
When I first did some blasting on my dad's frame I ended up with sand inside my cell phone. It worked it's way into every little opening. And this was while it was in my pocket lol.

Re: 1969 Short Wide
Update,
I have been hitting this project pretty hard last couple of days....well hard for my slow butt. I got the front cross member blasted with some new media I picked up yesterday. It's basically recycled glass. It works really good when you keep air to it. I then primed it with rust conversion primer then painted it, installed new control arm shaft kits, painted them and then started blasting the bottom of the frame. I got about half way done with it and gave up. I need to get a better face shield. Here are the pics: http://i14.photobucket.com/albums/a3...uck/69-141.jpg http://i14.photobucket.com/albums/a3...uck/69-142.jpg http://i14.photobucket.com/albums/a3...uck/69-143.jpg http://i14.photobucket.com/albums/a3...uck/69-144.jpg http://i14.photobucket.com/albums/a3...uck/69-145.jpg http://i14.photobucket.com/albums/a3...uck/69-146.jpg http://i14.photobucket.com/albums/a3...uck/69-147.jpg http://i14.photobucket.com/albums/a3...uck/69-148.jpg http://i14.photobucket.com/albums/a3...uck/69-149.jpg |
