Re: My Build - PROJECT "CREW CHIEF"
As always it's a "slow roll" for this project. Setbacks n such but it will be all worth the time n effort. Not going for show or full restore but progress is progress...
Painted the new motor a while back with POR-15 silver then their Chevy orange top coat which did not cover well. Took the motor down to bare metal and started over. Again I did not like the results. So I scuffed down to the silver base n used rattle can Dupli-Color high temp for the orange topcoat. This I like! Frame rails got 2 coats of the POR-15 gloss black and dusted with satin black rattle can. Firewall was treated with the same satin black. Will worry bout filling fire wall holes when I do body work at a later stage. Cross member and front suspension is clean but will only get quick rattle can job. No $$ for the disc brake upgrade at the moment and the beast needs to get back on the road for a bit. So it is what it is - for now.... Will proceed with the motor bolt-on's this weekend. then to start work on the long stepside bed I picked up recently for a few pennies!
