Re: CJ Tub replacement
You're the man Earle! I'll call em and get a price.
Hopefully I'll be able to use a wash bay at work to do it (so I won't have
to get my garage all dirty). Should be pretty easy right? We have a glass
bead machine at work (that you put your arms into gloves in a box) and I've
cleaned up a bunch of parts that way. Too bad my tub won't fit in there!
Getting lots of snow? I had to go to our Aspen office yesterday and they
got dumped on pretty good.

Re: CJ Tub replacement
Better read Bill's post and go light with the stuff. If they have glass
beads that would be better. Remember you don't have to get all the paint
off with sand, just the loose stuff and rust. The woodwork in that house I
mentioned wound up looking a bit like driftwood. I think Bill's chemical
dip approach would be better, but I don't know if there is anything around
here. Maybe a gel type paint remover would be good to use after a light
sanding. Lots of snow in Silverton, but I spend the week days here in
Junction.
