    I am glad the stickers made it! I like being close to Canadian Bubba! Thanks for the Shout Out! I think that is a good plan to move the shocks to behind the axle.

      @@IronheadGarage Yeah I sandblasted the whole T-Bone backing plates,etc. I painted and primed everything. We had this huge overhead basket running Hot Vapor degreaser machine at my job. Boy I tell you I miss that machine along with the huge Ruellin sandblaster they had. With the degreaser machine you would load the basket push a button and the part basket goes up and down into this heated solution for 15 minutes. Comes back automatically and your done. I think it used trychorethylene and was heated in a sealed vented tank environment and you wouldnt smell anything when the parts came out. Chris the parts would come out unbelievably clean. You would have to wear thick rubber gloves to handle the parts when they came out. We made jet aircraft commercial and military engine parts. I used satin black Rustoleum paint on my rearend, leaf springs,etc. I didnt want the gloss look,...Still looks good. Slowly but surely you will get there keep it up..
