    It's been a busy weekend, I got out the sand blaster and got after the rust on the back half of the frame and some other suspension parts. I hope I am at the top of the mountain now and things start getting a tad easier. Hopefully no more rusted and broken bolts. The biggest challenge I am facing is extracting the 4 broken cross member bolts. Once I get past that I only have to remember where everything goes....

    On to the pictures....
    Some very rusty parts......










    After blasting and with coating applied....









    Now things are starting to look purdy .......
