Re: 71 Cheyenne Super- A Combined Effort
So glad to be working with Jesse on this one, cuz I know I would of never been able to weld things up as well as he does.....Wanted to also post up some pictures of painting the chassis and suspension parts, and our progress on the assembly.....
Jesse built this "swing" for the parts to hang on for painting and here's the rear end and this is what we used....suggest getting 3 quarts, but maybe cheaper to just buy a gallon and the chassis.....we lacked a lower control arm seal (stupid me forgot to check to make sure they were in there), and the 2-u-bolts for the rear end...it's amazing what 3 measly parts can railroad your weekend work but we forged ahead...many thanks to 1972SuperCheyenne for the trade on the tie rods/ adjusting sleeves....this is how she sits as I left yesterday afternoon....I'll be back in 2 weeks to hopefully make this one a roller By the way....we ended up using MOOG Control arms, tie rods, and adjusting sleeves, and TRW ball joints

Re: 71 Cheyenne Super- A Combined Effort
I am proud of my redneck swingset. It is a shame that I have to disassemble it tonight.

Re: 71 Cheyenne Super- A Combined Effort
...you may be waiting awhile. Geoff has been looking for a Suburban like the one I described and has not been able to find one...yet. I was just pulling his chain.

Re: 71 Cheyenne Super- A Combined Effort
Nice progress guys!
Curious... what's your review of the extreme chassis black paint from Eastwood?

So far, it seems to be durable, but I would like to see some actual miles put on the chassis to see how it holds up to everyday use. I am sure Geoff is tired of hearing this, but I am really glad that we went with the satin version. I think it looks nice.

Re: 71 Cheyenne Super- A Combined Effort
Thanks for the review buddy!
Satin vs. Semi? Is that what your statement was referring too above? What all is involved in the mixing of the paint? Not a pour and shoot?
