Stop it! Body guy is dragging Azzz.......Still a few (really) minor details to take care of, next step will be the underbody dip sealer, then finally paint.....Hopefully sooner than later on both.

Me neither! But there won't be any clear, just straight up single stage enamel and a prayer it lays down as good or hopefully a tad better than factory

The body "dip" coating was applied today, I'll post pics tomarrow. I'm not going crazy getting the dip line exact because it's going to be all covered in yellow on the blend areas anyway but I did take great pains in getting the color and texture match right. Yellow should go on next week if all goes well.

I had a bunch of suspension stuff sand blasted and Evaporusted, pics will pop up soon.

BTW, how did you paint your black suspension parts Brent? What type of paint and what type of gun? What did you do to (rust strip method, etc.) restore your center section and axle tube?

I powdercoated my axle and K frame actually. I know its not OE, but its durable and easy to clean. So those parts and my springs were all sandblasted. The rest of my parts were Evaporusted and RPM'd.

So far all of my parts are cleaning up with Evaporust, I'm going to shoot the black parts in a straight black enamel, RPM the natural items, and dip the LCA's in a Cosmoline like product. I tore down my disc brake assemblies today and have everything soaking in ER, did some small ding and dent removal on the K-member, gathered up all of my black phosphate small parts and am sending them off, and ordered some more parts I'll be needing to get everything assembled again. Looks like a couple weeks of waiting before all of the parts I need to assemble stuff will be back to me, then I'll get going and start some sub assemblies.

Bottom is now sealed up with a factory color matched "almost black but not quite" dip finish (LA plant car). Shouldn't be long before paint now
