Lee, that looks amazing. You weren’t worried it would damage the vin stamp?
I also like the Evaporust method. Except instead of buying such a large volume of Evaporust, I think I would try and use the heavy duty industrial plastic bag set in water to compress the Evaporust against the block.
And to be clear, shot peening is where the block is secured in an enclosed machine where it rotates the block around with small bb’s?
