Re: My new project 86 Silverado

updates...

Getting ready to spray the frame with the epoxy primer
took out the crossmember, and cleaned the frame with purple power degreaser, and the old standby Tide... works for NASCAR, good enough for me..

Re: My new project 86 Silverado

Looks like you are making good progress. I probably should have taken everything off of my frame but didn't. You are doing it right. Best of luck!
