Chassis off to be blasted

As of the 13th I delivered the chassis to the blaster.  I asked him to blast the chassis and then coat it with a rust converter, including inside the rails.  I’ll paint it later.  Not sure if I will do that myself or have him do it.  The bake lines (what’s left of them) were left in place so I can copy them when I replace them later.  The PO had thought they could be salvaged but that’s not the case and I’m glad, for that and other repairs that I lifted the tub off.  I wrapped the exposed part of the chrome swivels in duck tape and asked him to avoid those areas, which I will clean up later when I rebuild the swivels, hubs and brakes.
