Re: A '54 named Busty
I liberated the front body mounts figure this front clip won't see another Camaro body any time soon
had to take it off in pieces as I couldn't get a good angle on it, and my largest cutting disks were all the size of a silver dollar and started cleaning up the frame for paint |

Re: A '54 named Busty
picked up a can of gloss black paint, going old school with brushes on the frame, that way I don't have to mask anything off

Re: A '54 named Busty
thank you, you know me, same or better is all we ask for
really wanted to get everything painted before heading out camping this weekend that way this crapy California paint has a few more days to cure so as of this writing all the suspension parts that are going back on have been painted we also have the brand new coils now (waiting to be all scratched up, ha ha) and the rest of the parts are due to arrive next Monday so the day after we return from the lake - Perfect! |

Re: A '54 named Busty
I remember somewhere else you mention you liked the Krylon paint but was getting harder to find, but here they are making a come back and I saw they sell tractor paint,don,t know if they always did. I just like how well the Krylon spray paint sprayed. Thought I would mention it

on a semi serious note, please check out my first build thread called Restoring Rusty there is a Table of Contents and somewhere's around thread number 2151 I do just that I document how to replace the front coil springs and not get dead! I offer you a link to what for me starts on page 54 but depending on how many posts your preferences are set to on this forum it may lead you to a different page, but you'll finger it out I'm sure of it Oh sweet Memory Lane (pronounced: Never Again! ha ha) |

Great job on the cleanup of the parts and the frame. They are all taking the finishes well and we all know that's because of the prep. Us recovering perfectionists know that it's hard to decide where to draw the line. But the satisfaction from getting the specific part or a certain area on the vehicle all dialed-in lends to the overall sense of satisfaction. I took a hiatus from The Forum and once I came back, it turns out you've been killin' it! So much progress, so many pages, haha. Great work man! You swapped for an LS in less time than it used to take to diagnose the old milkshake maker. |

Re: A '54 named Busty
so I ordered the suspension parts a week ago from Rock Auto and they said they will ship them via FedEx and that I would have them on Monday a week later, well
Monday - no parts Tuesday - no parts Wednesday - ??? now I don't mind waiting a week, but if you say a week that's a long time so you should have enuff time to get them to me and just for funsies here's where they've been on their US tour so far BRONX, NY => KEASBEY, NJ => JERSEY CITY, NJ => ALTOONA, PA => BUTLER, IN => CHICAGO, IL => MEDIA, IL => ALVA, OK => CASA BLANCA, NM => ESSEX, CA => STOCKTON, CA => LODI, CA => SACRAMENTO, CA => ROSEVILLE, CA something tells me they would have gotten here quicker on the Greatful Dead tour bus Last edited by Gregski; 08-12-2020 at 11:00 AM. |
