12DEC2003	Nothing major done.  Not feeling too well.
13DEC2003	Sandblasted the parts today.  Actually my wife did the work, and did a fine job of it, too.  The blaster, once coupled to a gas-powered 16.2CFM compressor from Art's, made relatively short work of the grit, grime, and paint on a control arm, both adapter plates, both calipers, both caliper brakets, and both steering knuckles.  There are a couple parts left to do, and I'll get them tomorrow. I also started spraying the freshly-blasted parts.  I started on the control arm, both steering knuckles, and one of the adapter plates (the left, I think).  They look pretty close to brand-new at this point.  Before and after pictures to come.
14DEC2003	Bead blasted the rest of the parts.  Everything is looking pretty good now.  I'm going to need to sand things down just a hair, to get the fast-forming rust off, before I paint, but much easier than trying to sand the whole thing down to bare metal.
