Re: Roadkill's 58 Chevy Stepside
I'm learning to be patient working on the tractor.
Since I'm going to paint this I might as well take that off and paint it.
Three broken bolts out of four and I'm going backwards.
Broke an easy out off in the damn thing. Then I remembered my old friend fire. A little heat on the area around the bolt and it comes right out.
Converted my sandblaster to a soda blaster with a few parts from Hose & Fittings (Parker) and Home Depot. Clogs up after a while because I didn't have a good dryer on my compressor. After a trip to Graingers and a 4 stage dryer I can soda blast till I run out of soda without any clogging.
Decided to hook up the gas to my welder and use solid wire so I can weld up some cracks on the fenders and heat shield. I filled a few small holes as well.
I get to practice on my tractor instead of my truck!
I hope to be painting by the weekend.
