Hands down that is the nicest M151 I have ever seen! You stand on an Island alone in your greatness. Aliens that had flown past Planet Earth decades ago, due to disinterest, are pulling space brodies

Jim,
Did you find any areas of corrossion on the tub after the soda blasting? I'm looking into blasting my A-1 tub but I figured on going the glass media route becasue of the amount of corrossion.

Know when to fold 'em
Know when to walk away, Know when to Run !
You don't count your money, sitting at the table
There'll be time enough for counting
When the deal is Done !......
