Nothing is wrong with blasting the frame I actually would have like to done it myself but I have more patience than money.lol So I invested in some wire wheels, strip disk, and phosphoric acid and went to work. If you are powder coating the frame that's different and that's what I meant by if its not an option. You mightiest well have the powder coater blast the frame before powder coating, but if you are going to paint the frame I'd save the money and put it somewhere else. Another reason I asked if it was an option for Kim is because I remember him telling me he had a bad back or something. But if he builds that rotisserie out of two engine stands like I did he does not have to worry about his back. The rotisserie is great for cleaning and painting. |

Re: My 57 Pro Street
You guys are great.
My frame has been bare metal for so long that it would take me days to strip the rust off of it. I am just going to paint it but I want it to be clean as possible. I'll try the wire wheel and if it cleans up fairly easy I may go that route. Kim |

The picture of my frame that I posted was how it looked after the acid wash, but when I sprayed it, it was bright and shiny metal. |

Re: My 57 Pro Street
Kim,
Could I get a pic of the front drivers side, with the header on, shot down the frme rail to see the clearance between the flange and frame rail? And one shot stand over the front wheel looking toward the motor? i'm having clearance issues with the 2 pair I already have. I really don't want to buy 2 more. If this one didn't work. Thanks, Mike |

I've got the frame all apart for cleaning and painting right now. I do have this one shot of the header on the drivers side. I know it's not the best. I was checking steering shaft clearance. The other is without the header but gives a little idea of the clearance. I had decent clearance from the header flange to the frame on the drivers side. I did have to notch the frame on the passenger side. I think they moved the tubes out to keep them away from the starter. I centered my engine between the frame rails. I hope it helps. Kim |

Re: My 57 Pro Street
Kim: When are you painting the frame and what coating are you going to use? Also, what color? I'm going with an epoxy primer and two part urethane top coat in semi-gloss black. Thought I'd make it look like late model factory.

I think it will hide some of the imperfections in the frame and should be fairly durable and easy to touch up if I have to make any changes down the road. Kim |

Re: My 57 Pro Street
Great job Kim! Truck is looking great. I painted the wheels on my Tacoma with the black hammered Rustoleum a few years ago. No chips so far, and they get plenty of offroad time.

Re: My 57 Pro Street
Kim,
Nice pro street! What size flange bearings did you use for your pivot mount for the bed on your truck? Renegade |

Well I finally made a little progress on the truck.
Got the frame cleaned then primed and the first coat of paint on it. I used Rustoleum "Hammered Black" in a quart can which really looks like a very dark grey when it is applied. This kind of annoyed me as I used a rattle can on some of the small parts and it is a little darker. The other thing that is annoying is the window for a second coat. If you don't get it on in under 4 hours you need to wait 7 days because of the way this stuff dries. It looks O.K. in the pics but definitely needs another coat. Kim |
