woody's grille blasting thread

Post by woody » Tue May 30, 2006 4:18 pm

Having seen the rusty sheriff badge thread, thought I’d open up this.

I'd prefer to do a load of grilles in one go rather than in dribs and drabs. I can get them blasted no bother (as i can nip in and use the machine) but I'll maybe need to sweeten up the old fecker in the paintshop :roll:

The next opportunity for me will be the backshift starting 19 June as i'm off/away for a couple of weeks before that :D Interested parties can put their names below:

Edited to add: Shug, would you be ok to collect them for me at meets/runs?

ker-BUMP!

I saw a chap actually fingering my grilles when I came out of the shops the other day... telling me I need some wonder wheels for them....

When are we getting some action on these grills?

Cheers in advance,

I have got mine done, they are on road test to ensure that the paint is up to it.

Costs about 2 stellas per pair as I have to bribe the paintshop. Again large batches would be good and it took them a few days.

Excellent Rich - I can always drop them off at Cloak & Dagger, together with requisite payment :)

That's an idea. But I would remove them before you arrive, mine had to be cut free.... :roll:

Be careful, is there not a wee run planned ? I can see prices of new radiators on ebay rising steeply after that Friday!

Woody does them for free when he gets a batch, I can get them done in exchange for international fighting fuel.
