When you haven't got the proper tools improvise. This is how I cleaned the threads on the rim bolts, not pretty but it works.

Thanks Keith.
One corner of the blitz finished. As I'm putting the tyres back on I am using new rust bands and the valve stem is sitting much better than before. ![]() I think I will do the other three wheels together to save on cleen up, but first I have to dry another 40 gallons of sand for the cleanup. ![]()

Wheels should now last another 65 years.
From my experience installing tires on sand blasted clean and freshly painted wheels is a lot easier than a rusted pitted hulk. Keep it up. Bob

Hi there Robert, have been toying with the idea of buying one of those type pressure blasters for a while now to do jeep and blitz parts, so thought I may ask a few questions. Do you only use sand or have you tried garnet, what size compressor you have and does it keep up, how long do you get out of a pot of media and roughly how long does it take to do a rim and do the nozzles wear quick?
Enjoying the photo's and like the fact she still has to earn her keep nice work all the best ![]() ![]()
