Re: '55Chevylover's 55stepside build up
I put it on bare metal like the can said. I also sprayed undercoating on top of that. I sure hope I don't experience the same thing you did.

Re: '55Chevylover's 55stepside build up
It's all in how you prep the metal, if you grind or clean all the rust off and don't use the prep solution it will peel, if you give it something to hold on to it will last a long time and you can paint over it.

Or if i would have sprayed it down with water and let it set a day or two to let it build up a layer of surface rust it would have been ok. POR stands for Paint Over Rust, which is what its designed to do. not POCM on all my other projects i use a black acrylic enamel. havnt had any problems with the last 3 or 4 done that way.

Re: '55Chevylover's 55stepside build up
Nice build. I am just out side of Charlotte. I have been gathering parts for my 56 for the last year or so. I hope to get started on it when it worms up some.

Re: '55Chevylover's 55stepside build up
My dad used POR 15 to paint his frame over 10 years ago, it was a bead blasted frame so it was porus and gave good adhesion. He brushed it on and its still stickin today. Just dont paint it on anything that sees the sun alot, it fades.

Re: '55Chevylover's 55stepside build up
I've got 2 8.8 ford explorer rear ends, that's not a 8.8. Yes I agree with you that a 98 explorer should of had a 8.8, but that's not what he has.

Re: '55Chevylover's 55stepside build up
I take that back... 8.8 has a bolt on rear cover. That is a Ford 9" but it's not out of an Explorer. It looks like it is out of the mid class cars from the 60's-70's. It is a small bearing housing, I can see the stepped tubes and the butt spliced tubing to center section.
Higher horsepower axles have the one size axle tubes, big bearing, and the center section is V-notched over the axle tubes. Last edited by addicted2dunes; 01-08-2010 at 11:40 AM. |
