74 power wagon dream truck...
Thanks you!...
I don't like cleaning the parts either but even more I like when they're clean LOL..
It's really the name of the game in restoration. Sometimes I think about just opening a business with a parts cleaner and a sandblaster ....
Like I was saying there I got the transmission all looking good and cleaned up the shift lever and the output carrier and put them on and they looked out of place with the rest of the transmission. So I took them off and when I get to painting stuff I'll paint them and put the back on...
No doubt, a guy offered me his sandblast, powder coat business, the last time I took something down to him. Building, tools ovens ect.
He blasts parts for me, cheaper than I can buy the sand for, plus I don't have sand in my ears and britches.
I don't think there is alot of money to be made doing it.
The last part I had him do was a rail-road conductor stool from about WWII or maybe even older, he blasted and coated it for me for $0.
I guess over the years I have sent alot of business to him.
The job I had him do before that was a set of aluminum slot rims, that were nasty corroded. He done them for $20. I told him when I picked the parts up that was too cheap, he just laughed and said, I bring him alot of parts, never complain, and do not give him deadlines.
