Got lots of work to do to this one and that will require ripping it completely down. The chasis was rivited together so they have to be drilled out.

Bought me a new toy in the summer and haven't got to use it much - now is the time!

Lots of modding power here!


Anyhow, I will be painting this case so the first step is to clean that beige powder coat off:

Sandblasting

Now, sandblasting it did work - and it worked very well - however, I made the rather serious mistake of doing this inside. Man, what a mess! I had sandblast sand everywhere and was cleaning it up for many weeks to come! Also, doing this with bare hands is not a good idea either. Learned the hard way at one point when I took a layer of skin off of the hand holding the panel - ow!


Once the worst of it is off the roughed-up panels are smoothed out with an orbital sander. Um, I believe I used a 240 grit paper.
