    Awesome progress. I forgot I have a soda blasting kit in the garage. Thanks for reminding me, you would think stepping over the 50lb bag of baking soda would do the trick.
    Wanna do my truck next...it would give you a run for your money. I already did the front 1/10 of the truck
    On a side not, put a space between your pics, it makes em easier to look at, I think either Tom or Sue told me that a few years ago. See, I can be taught, and teach others as well
