Was thinking about painting the frame with that "Rust-oleam Hammered Silver" , Or maybe just the axles and the frame just black.

Any opinions? Want something that will last forever. I'm going to try to overbuild,to a certain degree, To make this last.

 

[Zembonez]

I'd keep everything black. Looks good and easy to touch up later. Just my .02

 

[bobkyle2]

Yeah, i think that is my conclusion too after thinking about it.

Havn't gotton to work on it much. Let the frame soak with "mean green" for a while, And then pressure washed it. Found a few issues, And then fixed the issues.

Oh yeah, You wish you had that epicass bench grinder set up

As you can tell, Ray Charles did the first patch job... I put the bottom plate in.





Pulled the rear lift blocks and shocks. (Sold the rear shocks and two front shocks for 100 bucks ... I had already ordered new shocks.)

Also pulling the rear end, To swap in the 12bolt. Was going to wait till i put the gears in the ales before swaping them over, but just going to go ahead and swap it, while i'm in the while wheeling and primer mood.



More wire wheeling and primer.

Also removed all the extra tabs and mounts on the frame i won't be using. Got some front shock mounts to still remove. And one rear shock mount to remove.

Progress is progress.....Primer is making it look much better.

 

[Zembonez]

Looking good. Those problem areas look pretty minor. Rock on!

Coming along nicely
