1972 Duster Build with my Daughter
"Ding dong the rust is dead, the rust is dead, the rust is dead. Ding dong the rust is really dead!"
I dreaded it but I broke out the sand blaster and spent the day blasting the areas that I could not get with the DA that had rust and the finished the trunk. The humidity of monsoon season compounding the blasting as the compressor was blowing water all day. Kaelyn blasted for a while but she could not get the hang of keeping it from plugging because of the water vapor so she finished stripping the body! All that is left is the use aircraft stripper on the door jambs and trunk and we are DONE!
I can almost smell the SPI epoxy primer over the holiday weekend! I am not sure what the attitude she has lately at the end of the day :)
The flash really make the flash rust look worse than it is but it is just flash rust that the SPI epoxy will neutralize.
