Sure looks good, and you in that seemingly arid, dry environment, not much chance it will rust immediately, around here, soon as you blast it, you have to protect it until you paint or the tiny brown haze of surface rust is likely to start.

Ford industrial tractors are a long time favorite of mine, that will look really nice once done,

Really nice job!

The true quality of your work will show up after you have painted it. At least that is my experience.

Very satisfying isn't it?

Our last project was the first time I tried it and
I too was very impressed with the results. Both my
own and the kid's who did some.

I wouldn't call it easy, but I do think it's
something more people should try.

I can fully appreciate the effort it took to get
it looking that good. Great job!
