No real progress on the cab, but I did buy an air compressor, paint gun, and dremel. I also puirchased a gallon of the blue paint matched at Lowes, primer, and bondo. This will be my first time mixing / applying bondo, as well as using a paint sprayer.
Now I have to move Ms Pac from the garage to the game / work room downstairs and clean out the garage to make a spot for the DK to get started on filling and sanding.
I looked at a few stores for a 9/32 wrench because I can't get my nut driver behind the bottom two bolts on the coin door. No one had the right size wrench. I will have to come up with anonther plan.
On the bright side I did find a place local that said they will sand blast my coin door for $20.

If you bought a compressor, then Home Depot has the complete sandblasting attachment for 12.00. I bought one, it works great. Just pic up a couple $2.00 bags of sand while you're there and you're set. Here are some pics.

WunderCade - My compressor is a bit smaller than that, 2hp 8 gallon. I would have liked to have gone bigger, but I have a one car garage that already has a bit too much stuff in it. I don't think my little compressor would run a sandblaster very well. The next house must have a two car garage so that my workshop will be big enough.
Level42:
Are you sandblasting in the OPEN ???????????
I've heard that's very unhealthy.
Look at the white pixels on that picture !!!! Those are particles you're inhaling !!!!!!!
Get a closed sandblasting box for your safety...
