ok I have my '66 up on homemade rotisserie :).. and I played around with the aircraft stripper and putty knife so I have most of the major accumulations of crud off... but, I go to sandblast and realize I have 200lbs of WET SAND grrr.. anyways has anyone had a similar situation? how to resolve?... for now I just put it up in trays in the attic to dry out but who knows how long that will take, just checking to see if there is maybe a simple method of drying that i'm overlooking (heh, short of fire.... no yard here to speak of).. thanks for any ideas

all you can do is spread it out and let it dry. I had about 20 lbs i tried to dry with a heat gun.....never did dry out. You might want to consider getting some new sand or you are going to be waiting a while.

thanks guys, probably will use a combination of everything just to get me started and hopefully the rest will be dry as I need it... the Rotisserie I build based on plans from... here >>http://www.autorestorer.com/articles/art106.html ] http://www.autorestorer.com/articles/art106.html [/URL] would advise stronger metal and everything has to be taken off first otherwise be prepared for a collapse, not that mine is particularly unsafe but would feel alot better with less bounciness... pics of my setup available very soon at http://www.highvoltagehamster.com/ follow links to stang (DNS masking, cant link directly)
