here you go Jimmy the cross member.... I actually put the Chassis Black Satin on one of the frame rails this morning, trying to prevent overspray so i will finish the other tomorrow.

[Dustmaker65]

[zicc1835]

thanks guys ,,Im looking forward to completing this phase and moving on

[zicc1835]

I learned a whole lot about painting like parts on different days when temperature is a variable ,1st pic is yesterday so I threw a coat on the opposite frame rail today and there was big difference in the sheen 2nd pic. is actually the Satin look I wanted from the beginning. So I scuffed up the more glossy frame rail and shot it and wah-lah 3rd pic, I am finished with these rails ,(thank the Lord) and satisfied no hits no RUNs no errors. Im going to cover, protect and store these and start to work on the suspension......FINALLYNEXT...............

[GR8-68]

Looks great Jess, you are about to catch up with me

[yj4000]

Fantastic job! Can't wait to see more.

Ryan.

Larry & Ryan
thanks for the nice compliments, I am so ready to move on to the crossmembers and suspension. I start to travel again next week so things will slow a little
