Blasting, priming, blasting, priming, repeat...
Bumper brackets, grill brackets, horns, hood latch, grill center bar; it is going well but slowly.

I also modified my blasting cabinet. I had to replace the air hose and pickup tube hose.I installed a vent tube /snorkel for the pickup tube and it seems to pull the media a lot better. I still might make the holes between the two tubes larger to increase the turbulence near the pickup area as it is intermittent sometimes. Maybe the air is wet. I also need to get some new pellets for my air dryer. I think my air is a little damp at times and it is affecting the blaster some.

I love these instant gratification tasks. My parts shed is starting to fill up with black, finished pieces ready for final install in the far future.
