I went to work and ask my boss to see if I can use the sand blast to do my tow hooks this weekend and he told me no because no other project from outside of the work place. So I am going to have to figure out how I can get the rust off it and prime, then paint it black this weekend.

Seriously, WTF is up with new cameras? I've taken clearer pictures in poor light with Ektar 25 (speed) film and with old giant clunky digitals than I can with either my phone or my IPA. Apple and Samsung apparently went back to 1997 for their ccd's.
my 1st decent cell with a camera was a Sony cell & they basically built a cell phone around a Sony Cybershot 5MP camera. Friends were amazed at the pics, how fast I could roll them off. Now I have a Android phone, 8MP I think, maybe a 5 or 6MP but it takes CRAPPY pics!!
Do you want to buy a Sigma 14.2MP DSLR? paid over $2300 & only 260 pics on the camera plus a chit load of extras. lol I use the blazer more than the DSLR so the DSLR has to go.

What was OP again? Oh yeah what have bla bla... I drove it - that's a bonus with a bent DS upper control arm & a outer tie rod end, not to mention a connecting rod bearing or wrist pin shot. It got me to work n back... groceries & beer ta boot! Just have to work out that gremlin of the key stuck in the ignition. Read about the switch, commented on a couple too, but I can give my column an upper cut & the key is free, not shifter then I'd assume.

I would go with both colors, that would add more power than if you just used one.

I got some work done on the leds today.

My soldering has gotten bad, I blame the crappy soldering iron I'm using.


Here is the style I'm going to do. The outer ring will be the running and the rest are the brake/turn.

I drove 14 miles to work and 14 miles back home. Well I can't use the sand blast machine at work to do my tow hooks. So what can I do now because I want to repaint them black because I am going black out on my Blazer.

Rust/paint stripper disc in a drill will clean them up.
