I took the cab back off today and rolled it on it's back on the roll around cart I made. I put some thin plywood down for a ramp out in front of the garage so I could set up for sandblasting again. I want to blast the bottom to get all the rust off and repair any problems that show up.
You can see in the picture the part of the floor pan that I renewed. It's the real shiny part.
Anyway, only had a little sand left to try this. Works pretty well but the nozzle kept plugging up and that was the trouble I had blasting the frame until I got the air and sand flow regulated. Looks like I'm ready now, so tomorrow I will go to town and get more sand and some better plywood to roll out on. This will also allow me to collect the spent sand and reuse it again. I'll have to put my inclosure up also.
If it rains and I can't get outside I will start taking the suspension all back off the frame and get the frame and parts ready for powdercoating.
Friday, the "Old Dogs" and I leave for this years motorcycle ride. Going to New Mexico instead of North Carolina. The weather should be better. Maybe we'll do a second ride this fall to The Tail of the Dragon. Got to get there some day.
