Did some blasting and coating this afternoon. Pedal assembly, some brackets, door handles and trim. Of course I couldn't resist stopping by the shop on the way home to see what it looked like.

just thought of another way to remove rust on small parts--antique guys use white Vinegar-Vinegar is really a very weak acid----soak it overnite fully submerged---depending on how bad the stuff is might take a time or 2 to do it---DOES NOT remove paint or other crud just rust then rinse with water and blow dry or put it in the oven or sunlight to heat it up and dry any moisture you might have missed in the blow drying

Oh cool, I'll try it if I don't just buy a small blast cabinet and get it over with.

Got a new 37 degree AN flare head for my flare tool today, going to try AN style ends for brake line rather than the typical inverted flare fittings.

We're working on it, just not much forward progress. Been cleaning, re-assembling parts, waiting on new parts and test fitting. Been busy with work but going to get some time in ASAP.

I feel the window trim will be the most difficult because it needs to slide together and the powder is pretty thick, I think we can make it work though. A few trim parts and the bumpers still need to be done.
