After spending the entire winter locating parts, grinding, cuting, painting, and learning to weld, I was finally ready to take the plunge.... Also thanks to everyone on the board, I would have never had enough confidence to tackle this without this site!!! BTW: I must be getting addicted to the "914 lifestyle" as I had withdrawal when the site was down. (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/happy11.gif) Fist Pic : The Rust Attached image(s)

Then I used a spray gun to "Blow" some industrial rusty metal paint (I got it at the local tractor / farm supply store and it is nasty stuff used to paint old rusty tractors with, and yes there are lots of those in KY) down the long till it came out the front. I opted not to use POR-15 in this scenario because I had no way properly prepare the surface and with the experience I've had with POR-15 it really doesn't work great unless the surface gets the proper prep.
