[Spridgets] Rustproofing sandblasted metal

[Robert Weeks]

Thanks David and Mark,

I think I'm going to go with a 2k epoxy primer from Eastwood. It doesn't
cost much more than rustoleum and should protect better. I can do the
sandblasting and spraying here.

Surprisingly, seat frames have become pretty hard to track down. It took me
a few months to find these and they weren't cheap. My main concern is to
make sure they last, since in another 5 - 10 years they will be even harder
to find if these rust out. I remember back when I was doing this 20 years
ago, I could find complete parts cars for under $100 around here. I had 4
in my backyard at one point. Now people want $1000 for a stripped, rusted
out rolling chassis. I wish I still had some of those parts cars. There
were probably some good seat frames in there ;-)

Thanks again,

Robert
