Went to put the 1/2 tub together and the new rear seal was 2" longer than the stock one. Found this out as I was fitting the 1/4s. I could have cut it down but decided to repair/rebuild the stock one. There were to many other little things wrong with the aftermarket one. I wish someone made good replacement sheet metal. I will post pics in the morning

This may be a dumb question but, what did you mean when you said you " decided to have the media blaster come and clean". Is there some guy with a portable blaster that will come by and blast for you? I'm only asking because I'm just getting started with my build and that would be great if there were something like that. I mean to not have to hall the body off would be great.
Classic comment,
have a similar situation , My Daughters friends recon she has the coolest cruiser, one friend offered to buy customised number plates,,,,, another was here spending the night , around 9pm I found them sitting in the cruiser in the shed
, seems once 
always
Great work
Very envious of your metal working skills, great story , going to be a special truck.
My daughter just turned 16, has learner plates
so am rushing to get "our" 
BJ42 on the road, bit of body work to finish, rebuild transfer, sort charging problem, trying not to let it drag on.

I don't know how to get the quote box, but there is a mobile media blaster guy in our area. He came to the house and blasted everything.

i will say that Todd at Real Steel is a stand up guy and is trying to figure out why the seal he sent me was different than the one on my cruiser

Sweet, im in Florida but I'll check to see if there's anything like that in my area. Ditto on the metal skills, those floor pans are looking good. Where did you get the new pans anyway?
Mobile Blasting is a great business model for part-time business if it didn't suck so bad!
Awesome!!!

I was told by the baster that the media is environmentally safe. You would be suprised at how little mess there is, most of it is carried by the wind.
