Nice! That ended up soo good! It's gona be a thing before to long.
Love it! We have the same occasional work bench/dolly/welding surface: the shop floor ;-)
12:35 I hate it when the auto pilot walks too far.
Excuse me for pointing this out, but doesn't it make more sense to get all your hot work done before you apply any paint?
Normally yes, but in this case sandblasting was necessary first for several reasons (one of which was to identify if the seat platform was going to need replacement or not). In a multi-employee restoration shop, all the cutting and hot work could be accomplished quickly enough after blasting that flash-rusting wouldn't be an issue. But since I'm a one-man operation, it will take several weeks to get all the hot work done, and there would be so much flash-rust that the body would have to be blasted again. So for my needs, it makes more sense to prime the blasted areas, clean off the primer near the welds, then apply primer to the fresh metal and welds. Or to say it another way, my situation dictates that I'd end up either blasting twice, or spraying primer twice, and I'd much rather spray primer than blast. But you're totally right, if you have the option to do the hot work first, that's absolutely the best way to go!
@@oldschoolautomotive2660 no I understand what you're doing. I've been doing this for over 60 years. However the way things work out for me I would wind up burning what I'd already painted. It's just the way things work out in this neck of the woods. I have to take the precaution to not paint it prior to all of the metal work being done.
