I'm currently driving for pizza hut but trying to get back into a big rig. I've got a small shop at the house in Ingram. Do you have any ideas for removing paint and casting marks from triple trees and other curvy small parts? I'm thinking a sand blaster would do a good job. Just trying to clean up some parts for paint and polish. Where do you buy pipe for exhaust?

The best thing I have found for removing paint is Aircraft Remover/Airplane stripper.  It starts bubbling the paint in minutes and you can use a plastic paint scraper to take the paint off.  It's highly toxic so you'll want some industrial strength gloves and do not breath the stuff...  I'm not sure about the pipe for exhaust.  There's metal supply shop off I10 in Boerne or Fastenal in Kville on 16 right before 173 might have it.  For the casting marks you can probably grind them off or sand them.  We'll have to meet up sometime and talk shop.

sounds great. unfortunately as I mentioned I've been working on my triple trees trying to clean them up so my front end was off my bike and it was propped up. It fell and landed on my foot last night. had to get a tetanus shot and five stitches. Yea I know where metal mart is and I know where fastenal is didn't know they carried stuff like that. hmm...
