Scammell4199 Posted January 20, 2013 Share Posted January 20, 2013 I'm surprised any blaster still uses builders sand, because you can get silicosis from using it as a blasting medium. Keep well clear while he's doing it if I were you. Apologies if I'm telling you something you already know. Truck looks great though, those Chevs are lovely. All the best, Richard Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
