Vent: Old timer at the swap meet told me I was ruining my barn find by media blasting it
Guy must have been 80. Walked right up to my 67 F100 frame I was stripping and said I was taking off the original Parkerizing that can't be replaced. He was right. I spent three days blasting that thing down to bare metal. Now I got a frame that looks like every other resto. Should have just used a wire wheel and some elbow grease to keep that patina underneath. How do you guys balance getting rust off without erasing the history?

Honestly, a wire wheel on a drill takes forever but keeps that factory look intact.

Gonna eat through that chrome if you're not careful though.
