I got a surprise day off today. The first that wasn't spoken for in a while. I put new glass (not plexiglass) in my blast cabinet. It's awesome and dust doesn't stick as bad. I blasted the manifold on my unstyled wc and it ate through the inside of the exhaust ports into the intake chamber. I need a new one now. I finished the resto on the flatspoke steeringwheel and got it in primer. I also started making a raised area over a weld on the wc block and so far it's looking fairly good. The weld is right behind the carb and looked bad but didn't leak. I'm using JB weld stick. It's about 1" wide and 6" long by 1/8" deep. I know it's not original but it looks so much better than the weld. I hope it sticks good.
