Well got the compressor back up and running and then within 5min of starting to blast again the vac on my blast cabinet decides to let the magic smoke out. I tried to wish it back in but no luck. So to use a shopvac and a water trap until I can afford a new vac system unless I like the way...

That's for sure. Luckily I wasn't spraying just sand blasting and I got it shut off quick. Although I don't have a spare. Campbell hausfeld was real good and had parts in Stock even tho it's 24 yrs old and will have them tue. $140 for new rod, crank bearing and a couple gaskets. Cylinder...

Well my compressor blew up and has halted progress. New parts are ordered and on the way should be back up and running Wednesday.

It depends on what I'm doing. Something like this that will see some use and it's all bare and not putting my normal 3-4 coats of base and 3-4 coats of clear I want to make sure I have a good base the body shop I just started at will etch any bare metal spots under the primer.

Got most of the drawers blasted. Little bit of grease left to clean out of the slide tracks and reblast them spots. Next onto some bodywork smoothing out the fronts and such then some self etch primer followed by a coat of 2k primer and some topcoat. Anyway here's a few pics.

Possibly lol still not completely decided yet but leaning more towards it. Possibly doing a blue pearl mid coat over it also with either blue or black trim.

Thanks for the advice guys. I do just so happen to have a 40"x40" blast cabinet so I started to blast the drawers today. Got about 16 of the smaller ones done inside and out have 11 (of course all large ones) left. There was alot of nicks that were rusting and paint around them were bubbling...

Thanks for the input guys. I tried scrubbing with multiple things and nothing was taking this grime off. Thinner didn't work neither did prepall and there's some dents and dings I wanna knock out so it looks like I'm going to repaint just not sure on color yet.

The guy was a body man but this was his home box. All the slides are good no rust or even corrosion at all just need to clean all the crusty grease off of them and re lube. If it does get painted it will be ppg base and clear job as I'm a painter by trade and I have 3/4 gallon on the shelf...

Long time stalker of the board been a while since I've been on here so busy with others projects haven't had much time. Yesterday I picked up this vintage 1979 kr2105 with 2 kr274 side boxes for a roughly 600 clams. It's kinda crusty on the outside but the slides don't have any corrosion on...

that happened a few weeks back at work. the exhaust was covered in snow due to it being on a wall above another roof the snow drifted over and covered it would blow back thru the burner tubes and shut off.

they are from menards with a tool shop brand its a 160pc set got it for 16.99 decent variety for the price and the case is metal
