Re: 1969 Short Wide
It is suppose to be black but it's more of a dark gray. It also tends to be more of a satin finish when cured. I hope it's durable, we'll see.
Thanks, right now I'm planning 4" up front and 6" in back with out a notch. |

Re: 1969 Short Wide
That's a good deal.
Is the frame black or a gray color?

Re: 1969 Short Wide
gonna be a real nice build, laughed at the jb weld, we actually did this to a 3.0 v6 in my old boat that frost cracked over winter to get on the lake while the replacement was being shipped, it was probably pretty risky, but it held until the new one came in, keep up the progress

Re: 1969 Short Wide
Killer Job Mike!!
parts look great!! I'm guessing you sprayed the hammered paint, no? where did you pick it up? and can you brush or roll it on? sorry for all the questions, I think we are getting the wife's frame for her '66 blasted here soon and I'm still on the fence about paint. I know a place in OKC where I can get big rig chassis paint, that is the way we are leaning at the moment

Re: 1969 Short Wide
Nothing better than a complete frame off restoration Mike, everthing looks really good. I see you are going to lower it 4/6, How much does that give you for travel between frame and axel?

Thanks Scott Thanks, Not sure which travel you are talking about? Turning radius? I think it will be pretty close to normal as long as I stay with larger wheels. Which I'm planning on 18" or bigger.

thanks for the info! does bare metal have to be primed first? did you get the primer at Lowes also? how long is the dry time on both of them? I believe he is asking about the rear diff up travel before hitting the frame or trailing arms

I'm not sure how close the rear diff is going to be to hitting bump stops or frame? If I find it bottoming out I can put a bolt in c-notch. I prefer not to but if I need to I will. Nate's (Blank Slate) has the setup I am shooting for HERE.

Re: 1969 Short Wide
Here you go Joe, this should give you an idea of what the paint looks like dried. The can says "hammered" but it seems to lay pretty flat when sprayed. I wonder if you use a brush it looks more hammered?

Re: 1969 Short Wide
Which rustoleum product is that? The clean metal one, the rusty metal primer or something else entirely?

Re: 1969 Short Wide
Yeah we do need to meet up for some BBQ. I'm sure now that the holidays are over it will be easier to meet up.
I learned one thing from last years meet... I won't be planning this years Last year was a disaster for planning with the fact that there was so much drama that led up to it. The meet itself was a blast, and the tour was awesome. Can't thank BigMac enough for that. Maybe our Oklahoma moderators will chime in here to get the ball rolling for this years meet. |

Re: 1969 Short Wide
Thanks John!
Thanks RC! Small update: Got my new rotors installed and started assembling the steering components. Found out Rock Auto sent me the wrong tie rods (twice!) dang it. Also found out my 67 frame is different from the 69 where the steering box mounts. So I will need to make some spacers. |
