Not much to show for an abbreviated work day Saturday.... got the wife's garden cart primed, sealed and first coated...

second coated the transmission crossmember with the Eastwood Rust Inhibitor...

blasted a few parts...

and worked on the floor insulation taping some areas that needed addressed.

Will be out of town next weekend for the Memorial Day holiday, but will be taking a few vacation days the following weekend (originally to attend Carlisle) to try and make some REAL progress on the Tomato.

Wish me luck!

More blasting on Saturday....

applied a second coat of the Eastwood Rust Converter to the garden cart...

and also want to thank Aldon Hart for stopping by after he got off work to help out a bit by starting to knock down the old paint on the engine to get it ready for new color.

Every little bit helps!

Until next time.....

Well on Friday, I picked up my headers from Kustom Koatings LLC who applied a ceramic coating (titanium color) to them and they really look great!

Saturday was another day of blasting and I also applied a coating of Eastwood Rust Converter to the inside of my wife's little garden cart (like a wheelborrow) in preparation to hitting it with some bedliner. I blasted the outside of the cart and used a Scotch-Brite pad to scuff the paint and rust on the inside of the bed. This is the first time I've actually used the Rust Converter on rust (typically I blast to bare metal) and it seems to be doing the trick. Kinda looks like metal blueing as it transforms the metal & rust... goes from white to purple and continues to get darker and darker until it dries to a flat black color.

Going to try it on some blasted parts for our lawn mower then hit them with some satin polyurethane to see how they look. May do some of my engine fasteners this way rather than painting them.... I'll post results.
