The sandblasting turned out great!

[@FlatheadTerry]

Agreed! Its a local business that has these massive blasting booths making it very convenient for me. 😉

[@straightpipec6099]

Very nice looking. Good video Flathead.

[@FlatheadTerry]

Thanks StraightPipe! Getting closer to getting it back on the road!

[@sprayguy67]

Just freshening up the wheels makes a big difference in appearance! Looks great

[@FlatheadTerry]

Thanks Sprayguy! I'm happy with 'em.

[@scottl.6721]

When you bought the car, did you check the frame and birdcage for rust?

[@FlatheadTerry]

Good question Scott. I checked the frame throughly and no issues. However, I didn't take off the kick panels to check the birdcage.

[@dougs7920]

That blasting cabinet makes short work of those wheels! What brand and model is it??

[@FlatheadTerry]

It's awesome for sure! Fortunately for me, there is a company down the street that rents these large sand blasting booths. I use them all the time and no longer need my old one. Thanks for the comments!

[@dougs7920]

@@FlatheadTerry of course! More comments means more plugs by the algorithm! What's the size/model/price for the rental? I might have to go look into that around here (Maryland)

[@FlatheadTerry]

@@dougs7920 I have no idea what size/model/price they are. They've been there for over 30 years. So are you expecting me to go there with a tape measure and get those answers? (And to help the KZbin Algorithm for me to earn fractions of a penny with my response?)

[@dougs7920]

@@FlatheadTerry no, sorry!! I thought you might know what it was if you used it often, I didn't mean to say that I expected you to go check for me! As far as the algorithm, I was saying that I dug your video, so if my comment helped at all- it was the least I could do after getting so much from your video.

[@FlatheadTerry]

@@dougs7920 Dooh! I misunderstood your comments. My apologies! I'll go talk to Big John over there and see what he knows about these old blasting cabinets.

[@rea8755]

Great job. I need tires. Where did you get your new tires from?

[@FlatheadTerry]

Thanks Rea. I got 'em at Discount Tire. Note that the white letters on the BF T/A's I got turned brown shortly after I cleaned them. I wouldn't recommend them. Do a Google search and other guys have experienced the same thing.

[@rea8755]

@@FlatheadTerry I was thinking of the Cooper Tires with raised letters. Thank you for your reply and video. Just discovered you today. Will binge all your videos. 77 C3 !!
