Please send it with Roger if he's going to be there! I will return the favor Roger. I'll just be getting back from China this weekend. Thanks Steve.

I can bring it all back to Seattle, but that essentially lowered my "drive to Sequim capacity" from 4 down to 3. Gonna have to drop a back seat down flat to carry something that long back. Or we can lay it across the back passengers' laps.

Don, your parts are in Seattle. Gene drove his truck over so either the parts are still in the back of his truck or if they weren't too tired and remembered they unloaded them at Rogers place.
Either way get them installed, show season is fast approaching.

Hey Steve...I'm piling up a large bin of parts for blasting if I can find a day to get over there....one thing I'm wondering- if we blast them- then I take my time before they get coated- they will rust in-between right? Is there some sort of zinc-phosphate treatment that can be done right after blasting so I can take my time and don't have to worry about that?

What kind of parts Don? Why not coat them now?

Parts like...the fender splash guards, front spring shields, the two cups/headlight holders behind the headlights, various brackets like muffler bracket, horn brackets, the rear brake drums, hood holding rod, battery tray, stuff like that.
I was planning to let you do the big stuff (axle etc.) and do all the small stuff myself for some do-it-yerselfer satisfaction and powder coating is kind of fun. (I won't tell anyone.)
BUT, the blasting on the other hand...not so much fun with a cheap home setup- and although I got a ton done while it was working (15 min. each time)- my 2nd harbor freight baster went defective (junk!)- it was also a huge mess- so to make a long story longer- I thought I was thinking I would send out the blasting (or do it at your place per your offer) and then coat the stuff I can at home- but I'm not sure how long it will take to coat everything at home...may need more than one weekend.
Maybe if you let me help coat it all at your place and touch the gun or something- I can still say "I did it" and save a bunch of time too.

Roger and Gene might be heading this way on Friday March 7th. I will do a tech day powder your own stuff day if you guys want. All I ask it to cover the cost of powder.
Touch base with them or just come over to. Ill come in early and we can get a lot done in a day. Just let me know so I can get all my other work done ahead of schedule.

Steve, just noticed you said Friday the 7th...I'm stuck working Friday but I'm in the clear for Saturday the 8th. I could get over there early. Any chance that will work? If Gene or Roger have any carryover work I'm also happy to help finish it and take it back or help with any where else I can.

Do you powder coat engines? If so, what needs to be done for prep before it gets to you?

Can do but needs to be completely disassembled. Bare block no heads can be done. Usually cost prohibitive unless your doing a complete rebuild.

My engine block and timing cover is powder coated burgundy.
