Thanks for all your concern, guys. I'd have kept the deer but it pretty well exploded on impact. That Bonneville made a believer out of me. Almost as tough as the 72 Bonneville I had in high school. I'll have to check on the soda ash blasting. A new blasting & powder coating shop just opened in town but I haven't made it by to talk to them yet. After her car comes the motor in her boyfriends car, then my sons interior; I'll get mine in there somewhere.
