finished driver's side up to 4000 grit...blugh.

now doing the passenger's side, up to 1000 grit at the moment. the end is nigh. thank God!

oh wait....then I have to polish....GAH! AAAHH!!!!

I had to have some mechanical break so I took apart the heater blower motor so I could send the housing in for sand blasting and powder coating. the fan part was a total PITA to get off and will be a miracle if it works right when I put it back together. oh well....it was more fun taking it apart then sanding clear coat. had to use an air hammer/chisel to push the dang fan off the motor. to get the chisel to sit in the center I had to drill a bevel in the end of the shaft. it would NOT come off. I had to get it off so I could open up the motor to replace the wiring. motor is good, wiring was gone to the pits.

so many parts are being powder coated, all under hood piece related to mounting the fenders and the heater/fresh air tubes, etc.


also happy birthday to my little man, 6 years old. birthday cake sundae at Braums! YAY!
