Advertiser Update: CROCKER BLASTING SERVICES

Posted on by

Hopefully, you noticed the double ‘Business Card Ad” on the business card page these last couple of months, Crocker Blasting Services, Dustless Blasting. A few people asked me “What is Dustless Blasting”? Well let’s talk about what Colin Crocker and his “Dustless Blasting,” process is and what it can do for you and your project.

First of all, he will come to you, yep it’s mobile. Second, it is indeed “dustless.” If you have ever “Sand Blasted” anything, you know there can be a huge dust cloud and a large mess everywhere when the work is done. With “Dustless Blasting” there is little to no clean-up and it’s environmentally friendly. With “Dustless Blasting” less heat is developed reducing the risk of warping the metal, a common problem with ordinary sand blasting. Colin tells me that he can even blast fiberglass without damage to the subsurface.
Once the blasting is done he applies a rust inhibitor to keep the bare metal from flash rusting. My experience shows me that starting with a clean surface on any car restoration is always the best idea. It saves time and therefore money, not to mention hard work sanding rust, paint or body filler off your pride and joy.

Start your next project with a clean slate. Get it blasted by Colin Crocker with Crocker Blasting Services and Dustless Blasting. 971-409-3774, colin@crockerblasting.com, www.CrockerBlasting.com. Be sure and tell him Roddin’ & Racin’ NorthWest sent you.

Well, Russz’s has been advertising in this little publication for almost a year now and he tells me it’s WORKING.  I love hearing that.  He is growing and making changes as can be seen by the name change.  They have expanded the shop space and now they are expanding their services to include restoration work in addition to the upholstery work.
Here are some shots of the recently finished 1965 Dodge A-100 Pickup owned by Art Laws of Sun Valley, Idaho. Russ and company did the interior as well as installed one piece power door glass.  The truck looks great too.  Look for an upcoming feature on this one in the future.  You can see it though, at the upcoming Portland Roadster Show at the EXPO Center March 20-22.

Jack’s Specialty Parts advertiser update

Jacks “collection” of what I generally call “hard parts” is extensive.  The coverage is from the 30’s thru the 70’s with a little into the 80’s if there were ‘carryover’ applications.  Jack tells me that his inventory is primarily Ford and Chevy mechanical parts, no sheet metal, glass or rubber parts.  
Having had a career in the aftermarket auto parts business, Jack has crossed his inventory over into one numbering system for ease of identification.  This large collection of elderly but, new parts is all properly organized and arranged on parts room shelving in his warehouse space at 909 N.E. Cleveland Ave. in Gresham, OR. 503-667-1725.  If you’re looking for parts for your latest project, Jack might be able to help, give him a call.
