Sandblasting trial run. The rusty front window frames, splash pan, and one of the wheels were blasted with coal slag; initial results were very good. Since the metalwork is nearing an end the plan moving forward is to restore all of the wheels so the bus can be rolled out to the driveway for blasting of detailed areas (non-removable window frames, door jambs, etc.) After that’s completed it can be stripped with a stripping wheel, washed, etched, and primed.
