I asked ART (Tony & Darren) about the Airbar set-up since I really (really) would prefer one of those. I figured I would get the c-notch they recommend to use w/the kit so that I knew everything would work together (I could do the flip kit now & AirBar when I have the $$). "You won't need c-sections for that kit".... WTF?? I measured the current set-up & have approx 7" between the housing tube & lower lip on the frame-rail. Not needing a c-notch 'suggests' about 4" of drop w/that kit (leaving 3" of travel before bottoming out since it is a dually that is made for towing). That's $500 per inch of useable drop. . ..... For HHR to get that much drop would suggest they bought the kit & then possibly modified it to get lower & what I really wanted to determine.

Re: Project: Recycle
I did notice one thing I'm not happy about & will consider it a 'lesson learned'.
I cleaned a bunch of areas on the frame w/a cut-off wheel on the angle grinder. The 60-grit sanding discs would 'load-up' w/the OE coating on the frame or from the coating on the new steel. The edge of the cut-off wheel sanded through it w/o issue so I used it for stripping the old stuff off. As mentioned in an earlier post, just before taking everything to the coaters, I went over everything again w/some 60-grit discs. The frame appeared very uniform. I can clearly see where the cut-off disc (used @ an angle) gouged the steel during the stripping process. It's not the end of the world but I don't like that it's there. I'd hope to get a few pics today but the painting process is deciding otherwise. I still had some misc brackets that needed attention & started working on them yesterday along w/the a-arms. I decided to use Rustoleum brand paints after seeing a couple of members use them. I got the 'professional' series that indicates "quick drying" times but I'm not seeing it (can indicates 15-20mins between coats/dry to touch). Because of the recent weather, I'm painting in a boiler room @ work for consistency. The room temp varies between 90-100°F & it's dry..... Paint drying times for me?? 30-40 mins & the stuff is still tacky (I'm not putting down wet coats either). Back to VHT for me.....

Re: Project: Recycle
hmmm the long drying times might be because the paint is too thick or aplied too thick , it could allso be that the paint is reacting to the new powdercoat , talk to the powdercoat man about that one maibe he knows
personally i would keep using the rustoleum

I've shot enough paint from a rattle can to know a dry coat to a medium or wet. I shot the parts dry to medium. There's enough orange peel to suggest I'm not laying it on wet enough but I can't imagine how long that would take to set up. I shot one part Thursday night (a small spacer). It sat for approx 1-1.5hrs before I cleaned up for the night. It was dry to the touch so I moved it to another spot for overnight storage. When I went to install it Friday afternoon, it was stuck to the surface I placed it on (remember, it was dry to the touch). I've used Rustoleum brand paint before & did not like the long drying times (I don't see how you can get good results shooting a part in your driveway or garage where conditions are never optimum w/such a long 'dry time'). This is why I tried this 'professional' series because it's supposed to dry much faster.

Re: Project: Recycle
Yeah, Rustoleum exaggerates their dry times quite a bit.

Re: Project: Recycle
Hmmm, I just picked up a rattle can of the rustoleum pro today for the same use, a few spots on the frame that don't justify mixing and shooting a pot of epoxy. I'll let you know what my dry times are, it's about 60 degrees here too so that will be a test.
I like the rustoleum etch primer in a can for small parts, it sticks like real etch and i just topcoat it with whatever black I have laying around.

Re: Project: Recycle
Well, not much of an update but my buddy Matt that was w/me to pick-up the parts & get the main x-members connected last Thursday sent me some pics he took that day.
I got the BJ's pressed out of the lower a-arms, got them taped off, degreased, & in some Rustoleum primer. The uppers got the bushings taped off & then degreased before I ran out of time on Sat night. I wanted to get the uppers in primer but there wasn't enough in the can to get even one partially done & a trip to the local hardware joint would have added @ least another 40mins to the drill so I held off. I was sick Mon + Tues & spent today trying to get back up to speed. Maybe tomorrow I'll get the uppers primed & then some....

Re: Project: Recycle
There is a formula to correct the Rustoleum "advertised" dry time. I believe you multiply the hours suggested x days and it comes out about right. 3-4 hours dry time equates to 3-4 days if I'm not mistaken...

Re: Project: Recycle
Friday night I worked on getting the a-arms in primer then shot some color on the upper & lowers. I used VHT epoxy black this round w/much better results. Between coats, I worked on installing the R&P c-notch reinforcement plates that I made.
Today I worked on the spindles/brakes detailing. I drilled out the steering arms for the DM set-up (R&P tie-rods use a stud/bolt, mis-alignment spacers, & swivel joint vs. a tapered joint). I then cleaned up some casting flash on the spindles w/OE style D52 caliper bodies & got them in color w/mixed results. I guess they're better than they were, but not as nice as I wanted. They're still in the 'oven' (boiler room @ work) so I'll mess w/them some more next week & see if I can't improve things. Not a big deal since you can't see thru solid steelies, but you never know when some 'see-thru' wheels might make their way onto a project & I wanted to be ready ![]() I also got the rear HD brake hardware & parts but still need to get the rear housing cleaned, prepped, & in color (technically it's been scrubbed w/simple green but needs a little more detail work). I'll get the rear drums turned this week so they're ready. I'm trying to knock out the housing before the holiday weekend ends for some assembled, painted/coated, rolling chassis pics..... ![]()

Re: Project: Recycle
Yes. Everything re-fastened w/bright yellow zinc plated GRADE-8 hardware w/lock washers (both sides) & nyloc nuts. The truck arm front mounts are actually GRADE-9 fasteners (fine thread, w/dual lock washers & nyloc nuts) sice they're spaced away from the x-member vs. being bolted directly against the x-member.

Re: Project: Recycle
My buddy Matt showed up tonight so we were able to measure the frame for square. We measured from a small notch in each rail (located near the front x-member bolt) back to the last 2 OE punched holes on the top of the rails. Over a span of 13', we were .125 off.
So the front x-member & associated parts are officially tightend down. I was hoping to hang the a-arms & spindles but the backing plate bolt holes need to be tapped on the spindles & the upper a-arm BJ bolts were too long (couldn't get the exact size I wanted today). I'll correct those issues tomorrow. Matt took the HD drums w/him & will get them turned for me @ his work. I still need to do more cleaning on the rear housing before parts can be attached or color can be applied. Gettin' closer . . .....

Re: Project: Recycle
It would just be the same ol stuff
![]() Today I worked on tightening more of the various x-members (front splash pan, rear shock x-member, Panhard bar x-member), & I bolted up the front-bumper frame brackets. I figured I'm @ the point of installing the front a-arms, spindles, brakes, & rear suspension, so off the frame 'jig' it came. It's officially on jackstands. ![]()
