From Jim. Went to look at a 62 midget he has to get rid of for his move to calif.

It is ready for the crusher but has quite a few good parts.

Engine, tranny, stearing wheel. complete disk brake set up, master cylinder, doors, trunk lid, hood, fuel tank, radiator.etc.

Jim will be getting on later and offering for you guys before parts go to eBay or Craigs list. Body to crusher, really bad.

After he sells all he can I will go pick up whats left.

Has a real real nice Alpha next to it. A real keeper that will go with him.

Sorry Tony, no inter door pocket.
 
JAck,

Before you hook up the blast cabinet better build youself a bong for it. 5 minutes of use in my garage yielded a layer of dust on everything that took me weeks to clean up. A little 2 gallon Shop Vac, works great for providing suction. That and a water trap on the compressor to keep the media dry.
 
Bong????????

Yep have hookup for shop vac.

Water trap??
 
Build a bong, the shop vac will self destruct in 2 weeks from the fine dust and it will just blow the dust out the other end of the vac unless you replace the filters every 10 minutes.
Take a spackle bucket, fill it 1/3 with water, on the lid, make an attachment for the shop vac suction hose and a nipple for a hose from the blast cabinet.
The vac sucks the dust into the bong where it gets trapped in the water. You might have to play with the hose lengths to suit your cabinet and vac. Do not let the hoses hit the water, from the cabinet should be close to the water, from the vac should be near the top.
Now once a month or so just scrape the muck out of the bucket, no dust in the garage, no silicate in your lungs.
 
Got it, a water trap, cool. Will do.
