lol, I have a habit of miss placing things, so if the shop gets to messy I spend more time looking for tools and parts than working. I am going to soda blast everything when I make a soda blaster. lol. One more thing on my to-do list. It is getting pretty long since I have had all winter to add to it and not been able to remove anything. I have been spending money on tools and parts!!! That has been fun.
Goat:
Just make sure all the holes on the engine are sealed up tight before you soda blast. Wouldn't want that stuff inside the engine.
I have tried that Engine degreaser gel and it sucks and is really messy. I think Gunk makes it. Their other degreasers work pretty well though.

ok, so I have not been able to do any work to the K5 due to the weather still. I thought I would atleast post a pic of some of the parts I have been gathering for it. Enjoy!!
Goat:
Looks like a great start to a conversion. I see a lot of really nice parts in there. I especially like the NON chrome pipe. I'm not a fan of chrome or super shiny parts. Takes too much elbow grease to keep them shiny lol.
cmotodad:
Those works pipes are a chore to keep rust off. Yes, Sandblaster is a GREAT source for parts plus quick shipping. Have not met but seems like a GREAT guy too.
