    After considering what I spent to get the K-frame blasted, I figured I could get a Harbor Freight cabinet and it would pay for itself.



    My compressor was a little underpowered but I got nothing but time.



    I'll have to send them through one more time before I put a finish on them.



    Can't wait to see it all assembled.

    :iagree:  Looking real good.  Might just be the pic but it sure looks darker than B5.  What kind of paint are you using?

    Yeah it looks dark but I'm sure it's just the light.
    Look back a couple of pages to see the color inside the car.
    I won't get to see the car for another week when I get home.
