Few things in gloss black powder today.

I have a bunch of stuff going on but I'll make it a point to get as much work done to the car as possible. I have to get some pieces together as I go, I'm a little disorganized right now, however I did get to start getting things checked over, laid out, and fitted today, like the dash pad.

Spent a few hours at the shop today gathering more parts and prepping for powdercoat. I'm getting tired of trying to clean these tiny parts so I figured I would try my vibratory polisher. I only had lizzard bedding for media as I use this for other stuff and that didn't work, after over an hour I didn't see much difference. I ran to Harbor Freight and bought some heavier media, I'll try it tomorrow.

TRW owned it for awhile than sold the company so they could invest
their money into Airbags at the time, (1992).....

No kidding. Airbags were probably a good bet.

Here is what I stuck in the little vibratory this morning, I'll leave it for a few hours and see what happens.

try NUT shells ---pecan/walnut something like that if you can find it---they are hard enough to clean the rust/crud off yet soft enough without damaging the metal--- plus they are cheap--- try a landscape place see if they have some
