Well left work early to get some work done on the boat, and of course never works out like you think it will

I came home, soda blasted the intake manifold, And I have to say. The 15 pound soda blaster from Hartbor freight kicks some ass. But it does make a mess, but who cares it's baking soda!
Here's what the intake looked like after about 5 minutes of blasting (aircraft stripper failed)



And I said it makes a mess...




But all in all it worked pretty damn nicely.
