What paint did you use on your frame? It looks really nice.

Cool rides ToonMan, very nice pair. I wish, I wish, ...no didn't work. Thought they may be in my driveway.:lol:

Re: How about some pics of 47-59
 

Well, on the chassis itself I used 2 coats of epoxy primer and 2 coats of chassis black. All from autozone. Don't have the part numbers sorry. Money got tight so I am doing the suspension with rustolem products (rusty metal primer and Rustoleum Professional Black) using a HVLP gun from Harbor Fail.

The prep took me several days, but I was too cheap to have it sandblasted. Took it down to bare metal with knotted wire cups on a 4 inch grinder. Kept soaking it down with WD40 just to see if it would help break up the surface rust. It seemed to help quite a bit (wear coveralls, it gets you really messy) plus kept the dust down. The only place I couldn't get to with the knotted wire cups was around the rear cross member on the inside of the frame. I used some rust converter there, not sure of the brand.

It shined up nice but it took me a total of about 20 hours. I bathed it in laquer thinner before priming.

I'm sure sandblasting would have netted me better longer lasting results but I’m working with a tight budget.

looks good to me. :metal: These days aren't we all on a tight budget. Oh well just one more obstacle to overcome. :smoke:

alaska gasser, yah know, I've never been a fan of AD's chopped but I'm kinda digging this. Def different and its got that saltflat lookin rake to it. You got a build thread?

Re: How about some pics of 47-59
 

I started a build thread last night. I am not a big fan of flat chops on these either, but saw one with an angle chop years ago and liked the extra attitude it had. Here is a better shot of the new roof line.
