Quick update.

Spent most of the weekend cleaning and blasting parts. I really need to setup a vacuum system for my blasting cabinet. I switched over to Coal Slag media in the blasting cabinet this weekend (from glass media) and it helps a lot. The Coal Slag does not produce as much dust; with the glass media I had to keep a window open behind the cabinet. With the slag, the debris that escapes is heavier and just goes down.

I blasted everything as best I could. The spindle was the most difficult with all the sides and curves. I did not make them rust free, but rust-free-enough. I painted the top of the parts with Chassis Saver, and will work on the bottom of the parts over the next couple of days.
