Ahhh, that reminds me of when I blasted and painted my rusty frame/suspension/neighbors cat .. too bad she is getting icky again If only the county road crews would stop using that stupid de-icer crap they destroys all our rigs. Well that and I have a nasty habit of backing too far into the salt water while launching my boat
