Well didnt get too much done on the car this past weekend. I was busy working on the code for the Dealer list most of Sunday.
Wife offered to buy my a Small Blast Cabinet for father's day, but Harbor Frieght was out of stock. So I have my rain check slip in hand waiting for them to come back in. I was so spoiled be able to use one in class, that going to back a wire wheel to clean parts seems barbaric now, and hence the pile of small/med sized parts waiting to be clean and painted.
On a more productive note, I won my ebay auction and managed to pick up an 18" Masking machine pretty cheap. I also got spoiled using one of those in class. They really do make the job masking a car for primer and paint SO much easier, and for $50 it will pay for itself in time saved. If you have never used one, I highly recomend one!
I hopefully plan on using this next weekend to mask off the areas adjacent to the firewall before I repaint it. So the cowl, doors, windshield, engine, and frame rails will all get masked off.
Well it's 11:30pm here in Atlanta, and I have meetings in the morning...so I am off to bed.
