1968 Plymouth GTX

Yeah, me too. It does such a great job though and so much quicker than trying to sand it all off.

I already have a good start on the doors, so the front fenders will be the next items on the agenda.
 
Sometimes rather than blasting panels such as hoods and trunks lids I prefer to do a rust 911 wash which will remove the rust without dismantling parts and get in all the crevices. Here is one of my latest projects. Just hang the part over a tub and use a submersible pump with a hose sprayer. I wrap the hanger with plastic and cover the top so the spray doesn’t get all over the shop. Also toss a fish tank heater in the fluid to heat it up and speed the process up. Just don’t do it over night. I have come back the next day to a mess and another time to a burned up pump. Just set up in morning, monitor and adjust nozzle during day and it removes rust inside and out.

That is impressive Dave.
 
Got it reassembled today. Letting it sit now for 24 hrs.
Gonna have a big electric bill running my space heater throughout the night. Expected low is 13 degrees and tomorrow's high 46 degrees.

I did that with my roof. It worked really well.

I joined MA and now 10 years without a relapse.
But I still want to everyday.......
'Course being a broke arse country boy helps.
Really,only justifying the $$$ stops me but come the winning lottery numbers and I'm filling my own pages up around Here.
 
I was welding up a couple of spots on my deck lid when I heard this loud pop and air rushing. Got to the compressor and it was running with a strong blast of air hitting me in the face so I couldn't really see anything.

Ran and shut the circuit breaker off. The compressor immediately shut down but the air leaked for a couple of seconds and then a "click" and it all went silent.

Click the circuit breaker back on and everything was fine until the PSI got to about 120 and the whole show started over again.

Apparently my Safety Pressure Valve is toast, so a new one is on order. Can't complain as this compressor has served me well for 16 years now.
Recently had to replace the motor capacitors, pressure regulator and tank pressure valve and now hindsight is telling me I should have replaced all the pressure relief valves back then too.
