Here we are prepping the front axle to be hot tanked, we also removed the spring perch pads so we could relocate the new set.

Very nice, curious if you guys top coated or added something to get the chassis paint to a semi-gloss sheen and if so what you used? It all looks great!

Thanks...we used "No Rust" on both the frame and axles, no changes to it, just how it came out of the gun...has a great semi-gloss look to it.
