I love Allblästring!

Tomorrow it's time for "Hugo" to say hello to some epoxy primer : )

Can you say powercoating? I had all of these "removeable parts" powdercoated. It is tough and fluids just do not harm it. We talked about epoxy paint but opted for the powdercoater. Glad I did!

I did the same project but w/o all of the rust repair (whew!). I had a rotisserie built for the Z. The painter said it was the first time he had worked on a rotisserie. He said he wanted to use a rotisserie on EVERY car he restored. I temporarily 'donated' the spinner to ZTherapy and Steve is now using it on one of his Z's.

Wait 'till you start putting it together. You will marvel at how good these spinners are when you install the suspension, brakes lines, fuel tank, etc.

When I see the shell now vs. when you first got it apart, no one knows what you have done. You saved one that should not have been saved. Well done Master!
