I finally got some good light in the garage. There are 4 more banks to go up, but it should look like a surgical room when its done. Its amazing what a little extra light does. My days in the garage used to have to end when the sun retired, now I can keep crankin to the wee hours!
The air box also got some attention. A little wire brushing and sanding and she was nice and smooth. Rustoleum no rust primer followed by some hammered silver finished it out. I think it turned out pretty well!
The fuel tank sump also cleaned up nicely. I happen to be fortunate that my neighbor has a fine sand blaster. The fuel filter assembly (right) looked horrible. It cleaned up SO well after just a minute in the blast cabinet. I am now starting to grab odds and ends and set them aside for blasting. Why wire brush when you can let high velocity abrasive do the work for you??
I think that blasting is almost always the first choice. Sometimes a little slow but very effective.
