Hopefully just for show...

Picked up a "bolt-in" roll cage by Autopower. When I think of the term "bolt-in" I think of something that should be easily installed. This cage should be called "bend-twist-spread-pray-curse-startover-bolt-in".

Its one of the few things Ill be putting into this car that I hope Ill never really use. It will, however, add a little rigidity and a safe place to mount the harnesses. Not to mention the rice factor.

The New HELL

Yeah, sandblasting is hell. Its dirty, dusty, painful, sweaty, tedious.....but the end product is cleannn. Im sandblasting pretty much all of the old parts that i will be using again. Blasting the parts brings them down to bare metal.

You'll need:

A pretty large air compressor that can keep up with the amount of air youre using

A gun with lots of sand

A semiclosed off area, preferably one nicer than this

And finally someone tough enough to pull the trigger

The end result is clean parts ready for paint, sand existing where you didnt think possible and dusty air.
