**FRENCHBLUE72** · 11-19-2012, 10:39 AM

Chassis is really comming along... Congrats on getting all the rust removed..

**hilljob26** · 12-24-2012, 02:29 PM

finally got the doner truck here 2001 yukon

sduckworth13 · 12-26-2012, 01:39 AM

Your truck looks great, what brand of sandblaster are you using? I'm considering sandblasting and painting my small parts and frame myself to save alot of cash and not to mention paying someone to haul everything back and forth to the sandblaster and paint shop and not scratch anything.

**hilljob26** · 12-26-2012, 01:50 AM

i just bought one from sears for like 60 bucks, and ordered a blasting helmet off ebay for 20 bucks,,i get 50lb bags of blasting media at orschelins for around 10 bucks a bag..as far as my cabinet, it was just one i picked up at harbor freight

sduckworth13 · 12-26-2012, 01:54 AM

So it's definitely worth it to do it myself. I hope the neighbors don't mind a little dust, they've been supportive this far along in my build. Thanks

well, the guy in town wanted 250 bucks to sand blast it,,but i would have to haul it,wait,then haul it back...but yeah it was worth it, i saved about half of that i guess

**hilljob26** · 12-28-2012, 10:07 PM

finally got the engine pulled

**hilljob26** · 12-30-2012, 07:49 PM

got 90% of the motor mounts done, still have to get it on the frame, but waiting on getting the spacer for the tranny and transfer case,,but lookin good,,just ended up buying the actual bushing from DIY and fabbed up the rest

hgs_notes · 01-01-2013, 03:21 PM

**hilljob26** · 01-11-2013, 02:59 PM
