[Tigers] The real reasons I wanted to post

[Al Fudge]

Tom,

 

I'm in Issaquah, Washington, about 10 miles east of Seattle on I90.  I
thought about dipping, but I would lose the TAC decal and probably the VIN
plate.

Al,

I bead blasted mine. If I had it to do all over I think I'd have it dipped.
There were seams that weren't cleaned out enough. It may have been an
operator problem, but I suspect it's just the way bead blasting is.

I have an AutoTwirler rotisserie and I like it. We made custom Sunbeam
mounts that use the jack holes and bumper bolts. It worked really well
except when the body was finally straight they had to "adjust" the brackets.

Sadly the brackets are no more; they didn't make it back from the body shop.

Tom

Just for grins, where are you located? I'm in Georgia.

I have a couple of questions for the community. I am 99.5% done with
dissassembling my MK1.  It needs some rust repair and I am considering
having the shell soda blasted.  Any comments on the relative merits of soda
blasting over bead or sand blasting?  I want to strip the shell to bare
metal so I can determine the extent of the required repairs, and there will
be more than a few.

Also, what about rotisseries?  I have looked at the Auto twirler, but are
there any others to consider? I don't want to build one; I'd rather buy a
complete one.

Thanks,

Al
