My over-sized sandblasting cabinet is a 10X20 Costco tent...hokey, I know, but it helps keep the mess to a minimum, and I can work in the heated garage.

Well ok, if it will make you feel better...I found a couple of holes....likely the culprit for the rust on the driver's side floor pan, no doubt from years of wet leaves/debris sitting in there. Gotta get that area patched, so my feet don't get wet!

Ya, I was just thinking it's too far gone, not salvageable...looking for a cliff to push it over....( LOL J/K!)But seriously, I snapped out of it, and realized it's a heck of allot better than my other 2 projects, and less rust than most other resto projects out there. Very nice place to start, and I could care less that it's a Satellite and not a Road Runner,it's my favorite Mopar body style, and that's all that matters.

Thanks, 440;
I was afraid of that, as the wiring harness I want to use is non-rally with A/C. My rally harness does not have A/C...Once I get to that stage, I'll have to weigh my options.

Perfect, that shouldn't be too bad, then. Thanks for that, I haven't had one apart enough to know that.

With a little blasting, it should clean up quite nicely....

Looks decent: We're going to blast the kid's bumpers, headers and propane tanks for his shorty today too, I'm already feeling the sand down my back.
