I used a cheap sand blaster to get the nooks and crannies on my bee and it turned out nice with much less work. I have a small sand blaster! That's a good idea! ps: How did you prep the primer after the sandblasting? Finer grade sand?

I bought and installed a new front suspension from Carl earlier this year
He was very helpful and it came over right on time as planned
Nice stuff, installed easily

Looks killer!! I have instagram for my online portfolio at work- I should start a garage profile if it does image hosting like photobucket used to. I go back and forth on how to do engine bays. Sometimes I want to hide and smooth stuff but usually I end up going for simple and easy to work on. It’s crazy how much work it is to make it look super clean and sanitary. I’m sure yours will be top notch judging by the work so far. https://instagram.com/p/ie7fbOAW6z/

How much weight does the Gerst setup save you in weight off the front end?
1969 Dart GTS 340 1969 Super Bee X9 N-96 1969 Coronet R/T X9 N-96 2015 Dodge Dart GT 2019 Ram 2500 Big Horn. Looking for the original block for my Bee. The last 4 are 7449

How much weight does the Gerst setup save you in weight off the front end? I'll have pre/post weight when I get finished. However, I'm going from a cast wedge with aluminum heads to a aluminum block hemi.
