Getting some more parts detailed:
I spent quite a bit of time today using the abrasive cabinet:
Getting some large parts ready for paint:
Oil pan bolts after cleaning, before abrasive blasting:

I am getting the K Frame sorted.
These were apparently Stick welded back in 1961-'62, and there are some questionable welds, lots of undercut, and at one point a welding rod stuck through the metal of the k frame itself.
I reinforced a few welds and reinforced some areas with massive amounts of undercut. I also did quite a bit of cleaning and paint prep.
Getting some paint put on:
