Shynon 7,435 #36 Posted September 30, 2015 (edited) Managed to blast the hood today, after a little blast cabinet modification. I have added 6" to the middle. Now I can stand up without bending. Had to use a garbage bag so I could get the front of the hood blasted. All in all it worked well, Mods to the cabinet I have been thinking about for awhile.

Shynon 7,435 #41 Posted October 29, 2015 Well I managed to make the frame fit, got it blasted except for the outside ends. Frame plate was cracked I got time tonight to weld it up then add a reinforcing plate to the inside. NO I am not a professional welder, maybe just good enough to be dangerous. Primed frame and painted transmission mating plate. 9 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

stevasaurus 22,233 #50 Posted November 22, 2015 That's what I want to know Mike. What happened with the trans. I was thinking that the old one might clean up OK. The only thing...I might have changed out the bevel gear differential. Tom, the horse is starting to breath life...excellent job Mate. 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
