I dig your plans though

Dave

those are my go- to wheel if my car budget doesnt work out quite right, yeah I said budget :lmao:

Team III is close to me and offers a lot of custom machining to help brakes fit, etc. so that makes them attractive for a "budget" wheel.

Damn, now I like those too!....





Pickup up a cheapo sandblaster from tractor supply today, here's the progress.

Before and after: Cell phone pics, too dirty to get the good camera out.

Yeah, no other choice. Sweeps up ok plus that way I can screen and reuse the media. I know it's not ideal but neither is working under jackstands haha

Thanks, I feel much better about the finish the sand blaster leaves verses just wire wheel or grinding did. There is some light pitting the grinder just couldn't reach. I'll sleep better knowing that rust is pretty much gone now.

Kevin your work looks great and that metal looks like new.

Thanks man I only have about 25% done, need to find time to finish. Then more time to clean the media out of the garage before I can prime the floors.

Had a late night, finished blasting the rust from the bottom of the floor pan. Cleaned up the garage and sprayed a coat of epoxy primer, it was only taking a few days of this humid Missouri summer before lite surface rust was settling in, so I wanted to hurry and get that bare metal covered.
