Ok got to a major halting point at least till the rain goes away. I got the engine off and onto the engine stand and pushed the frame and rotisserie outside.
Couple of questions
1. Do I need to pull brake lines and fuel lines from the frame before blasting?
2. How does everyone do the bolts of different things that bolt into the frame? Do you leave them out while blasting but put them back in before primering and painting or do you just leave them in but take the item off?
Ok next step I messed my self up for and delayed myself as I set the body that I won't be using down right on the ground or concrete in front of my spare frame that I am going to mount the spacers the rotisserie company sells to so I can work on the other body. So I need to get it cut apart or moved or partially cut apart and moved. Then swap the frames that are sitting on the rotisserie. Then I can put the other body on the rotisserie and begin cutting out floor pans.
Another question is size bolt is the bolt that bolts the door hinge to the body as all the doors where already off and if I have any of the bolts not sure which one's they are. Need to build some sort of bracing structure as when I first moved it off I manually moved it because it was just ballancing on a 6x6 and the trans.
Oh I will be picking up a new or new to me air compressor next weekit is a 11.8 cfm @90psi 3.5hp 60 gal tank, not sure if it will do everything I want but cfm is in the minimum range and got too good of a deal to pass up for now. So if it doesn't do everything I want sand blasting wise I might be listing again. Although I found a guy locally that does it for $75 an hour with a half day minimum so might not try sand blasting much other then small stuff if he does priming so it can be sealed up while it sits. What type of things should I know about the primer he uses? Or any other ?'s I should ask?
Thanks for the help and answers
