    Last pieces for rust removal. I've been trying for weeks to do it but no rainfree days. So, in between rainshowers I've gotten it almost completed. All the small stuff, the tailgate, and about a third of the hood I did yesterday before a rush to get everything put away and another toad strangler of a storm. Went out after Xtreme today and got about another third done. Yeah, it's raining again. Everyday it's a new record.:v6:

    Looks good. A buddy and I blasted my entire JEEP before I painted it. I wasn't looking for perfection after all.

    HF cheapie. I wouldn't get anything pricier for home use. About the only complaint I've had is the valves are cheap and I replaced all of them as they wore out. The nozzles wear out pretty fast so buy extras when you buy the blaster. Now that I'm done w/ the CJ I'm going to set it up for use in a cabinet for small parts. Don't want to do anything big any more.:v6:
