Kyle got the welds finished up on the frame plates...
Frame is ready to send to get media blasted...
And the rear was busted apart for some media blasting as well
Getting the bus parts prepped for paint, the owner had a used bumper in stock so it will get repainted...
We've been waiting for an opening at the machine shop's blasting booth, we're
going to get the frame done first. They have some large platform in there now
for the US Navy, so it looks like another couple weeks.. So in the meantime,
Kyle has been prepping some front end components for paint..
......and we should have this showing up tomorrow, need to get some metal cut
out of the side and new replacement made up...
Robert Looks like nice suspension hardware. What brand is it?
Rocky, they are Heidts components. Lowered and narrowed.
Dropped it off before work, picked it up afterward.
After about an hour in the driveway with an air hose, the flow of trapped
media is scarce, but I'm sure there's still some there. We'll get some SPI
epoxy sprayed tomorrow night...
55 parts everywhere....
Two coats of SPI epoxy....
Had some left in the paint gun so a couple of extra pieces were moved in...
Oh yeah....the "new" trailer wheels were all blasted and ready to go, so they got a couple coats on the back side...
The frame had some slight pitting so the sides were hit with the DA to
flatten things out a bit, and some Evercoat 416 used to address some of our plug
weld grinding marks on the frame plates...
Here's the "winter" heating method for spraying in cold temps. 170,000 BTU
aimed at the air return, and the air handler fan turned on constant to circulate
the heat. Open window for air intake..
After three coats of primer, the sides of the frame are looking much better
than before...
Also got some more primer on these parts as well, should be ready for
blocking in a few days.
The other day when we primed the frame a second time we also did the front
side of the trailer wheels..
and today I mixed up some Centari that has been sitting on the shelf a few
years.. It sprayed pretty decent...
And more blocking.....
Laszlo, how much does a bare frame weigh?
