Was wondering when this would pick up again... will we see it at DGRR?

Yeah, I was in denial that it had to happen again:D However I knew that I had to attack it for a week or so and at least get it back to prime I can walk away for a while and know it isn't rotting to death outside. And No, it will not be at DGRR I have waay to many things going on.

the underside of the hood is a mess. I do believe that I am going to have it blasted to get it cleaned off to bare metal. It has so many nooks and crannies that I can't get all the shite out from the fire.

Heading back out to the shop for some more sanding/clean-up. Hoping to prime it before I leave for the weekend tomorrow. We'll see.
