Ford Model A Pickup Restoration - DIY Dust Cab made of plastic foil (November 2007)

I'm still spending my time with grinding but as you know, the result must be perfect.

First the good news, my air grinder has arrived and I was able to do a first test.

The last time when I used my air grinder, the dust was everywhere all over my garage and it took me a lot of time to clean everything. Therefore I bought all the items on the picture to build a big tent. In order to build it you need transparent films, a rope, adhesive tape and 4 hooks.

First cut the film to the right length to build a tent which has a size of 3 x 4 m and a height of 2 m.

Now you will need some time to put all the edges together with an adhesive tape. Attach a rope to the upper corner round the tent. When you have finished this task, mount 4 hooks to the wall and connect all 4 ropes at the corners to them. Tighten the ropes and the tent stands for the first time.

This is one of the 4 upper corners.

Finally I have mounted 2 additional ropes where I fixed the roof of the tent.

This is how the connection looks like.

The tent is finished and big enough to work inside.

This is a view from inside.

This is my heating from outside the tent. This way I am able to get a temperature of 20 degree Celsius inside the tent when the garage has only 9 degrees.

A last view before I started with my work.

It isn't a clean job, but now all the dust remains inside the tent.

At the end of the day, the tent can be cleaned inside, folded and put into a small bag.
