Next time your up this way stop by I,m just a few miles from there. Yep sure was, Man when do the salt trucks come out up there! man the roads were rough!! Wish I would have known that PC, I would have stopped for at least a cup of coffee and some conversation! I get back up that way I will give you a shout on here before I go.

KB9LOR 4 Report post #35 Posted January 7, 2010 It is complete, just needs some TLC, that one is going to be my actual "First" resto, I am in the hunt now for a local sandblaster, really that is the only thing I am going to have to "out source" :thumbs: Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
TT-(Moderator) 1,128 Report post #36 Posted January 7, 2010 I am in the hunt now for a local sandblaster Don't forget to inquire at tomb/head/grave stone companies. Many of them use sandblasters for engraving. Just remember - when things are dead, it's their busiest time. (sorry - couldn't pass up the opportunity ) Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Iggy68 28 Report post #40 Posted January 8, 2010 Hey Brian why outsource the blasting? If you have a compressor you can pick one up fairly reasonacle at Harbor Freight or Northern Tool between $60-$90. If you buy the extended warranty from HF you can return it for any reason within a year if you do not like it. Just a thought, Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Just a thought, Yeah what he said Picked up the sandblaster a couple weeks ago, but trying to get the engine going before I dismantle, seems it will only fire when key is set back to the run position, and not firing when you put it in the start position, I think it is a switch, but am still working on the problem.

Lawn Ranger kid 14 Report post #44 Posted February 2, 2010 Nice find. With a bit of paint that will look nice. Josh Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
KB9LOR 4 Report post #45 Posted February 2, 2010 My thinking too Rick, supposed to warm up this week, going to hit the garage and get back at working on the problem, Josh, sure will look good once I get the engine up to snuff and get it tore down and re-painted.
