    STINKING Media Blaster?

    I own and operate a media blast shop. Midwest Surface Prep, You can see it at www.midwestsurfaceprep.com . I am very proud of what we do. I am also proud to help all our customers keep their costs to minimum by suggesting ways that save money doing things themselves.
    When I fix my motor I'm not better than a STINKING mechanic. Whenever I do something on my own I am generally pleased with the acomplishment eventhough I know persons in that particular field can do it faster and probablly better.
    Just today we blasted a road grader, a semi-flat bed, two semi rear door frames, a 32 ford hood & fenders------well you get the picture!
    We my be dusty but we dont stink.

    :sorry: ...Dusty...
    wasn't meaning (better) or to step on any toes...:D

    what you do is ...great...(y)
    i look at my car as a hobby, so the more i do ...hands on... the better i like it. i am planning on keeping the car a long time, so time dosen't matter. my saying is..."i don't have to have it running by tomorrow to go to work...i'm retired". :yup:
    i look at the things i do as ...little projects...that way i don't get burned out. "i will be finished the day i die"...
    i see cars ..."finished"...to only be locked in a garage for no one to see but the owner.(take a picture, hang it on the wall, sell the car and let someone enjoy it). not mine...i plan on :drive:it ...to death. (as soon as i get the motor back in it).:oops: ...from the looks of mine, it should be one locked up so no one could see it :yup: .

    let me see...1,2,3,4,8,10,14,etc.,etc. counting how many more sets of toes i might have stepped on. :burnout:

    ...Dustys' friend Frank...:Nothing_f
