Okay, so this project has gone nowhere lately... haven't had the money to buy some of the expensive things, like having the transmission rebuilt.
Figured i'd do some of the cheaper chassis oriented things, that i've dreaded and put off. Want to get the chassis portion done so when I am finally ready to drop the engine/transmission in, i can just do so without having to worry about finishing other things..
Some of those things...
- Paint Frame
- Undercoat Body
- Plumb Fuel System
- Replace Brake Lines
- Fix Rust/Prep Body For Paint
First off, not even tackling the rockers at this point, they're not salvageable. The doors however were solid. So i i grinded all the rust off, and started knocking down the frame and underbody while i was at it.
Coated both sides of all four doors, then the passenger side of the body, and passenger side of the frame (inside and out) using KBS Rust Seal.
Next up is the same thing on the drivers side.... Then i'll have to pull the bed off and finish the entire back half of the frame. Once everything is done, i'll go back through and add a top coat for extra protection.
Then finally, that i can begin to replace the brake lines and plumb the fuel system so the chassis is ready to go for when I have the money for the transmission rebuild/paint work.
