Slider'n'sand blasting

Thought I would make a new one and stop hi-jacking Josh's.

A friend dropped them off to me Sat. evening. They didn't look too bad, so I ran down and bought a couple wire brushes for my drill to clean up some areas. Well one thing lead to the next. The rust had gotten under a lot more of the powder coating than I thought. Picked up some air craft paint stripper stuff and and started down that road. More wire burshing.... more paint remover.... after 2 days of it and not getting the results I wanted said fawk it and called up a sand blasting dude. He was cool, cheap and quick. They look brand metal new. Took him about an 1/2hr. and cost as much as I would have spent on products, not getting nearly the result.

Here is were i'm at so far. I thought the red would look cool! j/k just primer.....

Anyone want to help get these thing on my truck this weekend! lol they're stinking heavy!
