I am slaving in the shop pretty much every day. I enjoy company.

Perfect!  

This process still mesmerizes me...!

Ok. This is wayyyy better! Thanks Jim!

Excellent. I was a bit worried about the rust pitting, but it seems to have been totally superficial. Gorgeous!

Well there was about 5 hours of power sanding last night...

Sandblasting removed all the rust but the pitting was everywhere. A sanding disc on the grinder removed a layer of the pan just deep enough to remove the pitting. The main thing was that the pan was dent free and straight!

Nice. I'd hit it.

Note to self: no driving next to the Captain...

Haha!! Seriously though, that pan looks great. Way more effort than (even I think) necessary, but that's clearly how you roll.   

I drove with CO many times.... he is a good driver for sure!

I'm an excellent driver.
