Re: Pops 72 cheyenne dropmember build
I like the satin finish for the frame, rather than gloss. You should be driving it in a couple weeks right?

Re: Pops 72 cheyenne dropmember build
If I were not waiting for axles and the motor I could have the truck back together in two weeks. The issue is I am fixing all the screw ups the other guy made which happens and also I will have a few weeks in the engine compartment with the inner fenders. I plan to take it to cool April night in redding this yr. Should be fun. That is if it's not raining.

Re: Pops 72 cheyenne dropmember build
Frame looks GOOD! It looks like you coated it with the rear notch, front member, and trailing arm crossmember installed. That's how I want to do mine. I've just noticed that a lot of people get everything coated apart. Did everything get covered nice around all that stuff?

Re: Pops 72 cheyenne dropmember build
Should be narrowed and finished on wednesday. Then off to the powder coat and the axles will be her wednesday. So most likely next week the frame will be complete.
