Good start Rick looks very nice so far mate, looking forward to following your progress on this resto.

Another Y88 back on the roads makes the world a little brighter!  ;)

well i have a blasting cabinet, then i have a small siphon feed one plus a hopper. then my brothers work has a 4 ft cabinet (mine is only 2.5ft) and anything bigger i know a guy who has his own blasting truck...he'll be getting a call from me by this fall im thinking.
