Got the blasting cabinate all put together and piped. Cranked up the compressor and blasted the headlight buckets. Worked great. Very quiet and no mess. Found some corroded holes in the aluminum buckets after all the crud was blasted off. Mixed up some good old liquid steel and filled the holes after I used blue masking tape as a backer. Worked out pretty good, and after a little sanding and a coat of grey primer you can hardly tell the repair.
Yesterday I got some grill pieces out of the garage and brought them in to sandblast. Guess what, The lines coming from the air compressor are frozen (should have blown the moisture out) so, no more blasting until we get a thaw. Lifes little uphill struggles. More Learning.
Have to go to Washington State for a few weeks, so maybe it will be warmer when I get back.
Looking at a set of gauges from Speedhut. The legacy series. The speedometer is a GPS unit which requires no hook-up to the transmission. We've gone from mechanical speedometers, to electronic, an now GPS. Thats the future.
