Wtf??

 

[randeez]

Scraping frame wax off to paint it i guess.
It sucks.

 

[randeez]

there so many places that there was already rust under the wax that im going to wire brush to clean up before coat. its like 90+ degrees so it doesnt help with the wax as it stays pretty pliable, doesn't "chunk" off, maybe cold (real cold) weather would make this a lot easier. very little of it is smooth but just scrape off as much as you can then cut the wax down with some solvents - using laquer thinner is working pretty well.

removed all the control arms/spindles, shocks etc.... figured it would be a good time to do all the bushing and ball joints anyway so i ordered new arms and spindles (aluminum)

Rust? WTF. Where’d that come from.

 

[randeez]

some surface, along the crossmember where power steering fluid has leaked, under the radiator support nothing to bad but is annoying

engine sposed to be back this week so need to get this crap done =\

Looks like a huge PITA to me! But I guess if you’re waiting on your engine anyway... [emoji106][emoji16]

It’s the old “ since I’ve got it torn apart, I should blah blah blah....”

 

[randeez]

I'm convinced you're just a glutten for punishment, Randy

 

[Chert_Detective]

Hahah yeah that is quite the extra mile there!! It will be satisfying in the end though. Keep it up! Much more willing to do the little things than I am!

I agree 100%.

sooo...what do you think about powder coating or maybe polishing the control arms?? lol

i would like to powdercoat but truck is white - that would last about 3 days before looking junk, only other color i got goin is red (sway bars, hot pipes) and dont want to do suspension that color. still quite a bit of chome i think polished would look better than any color, and they would clean up a lot better without the "sand cast" finish. even if i just knock the rough finish off of it to sort of a machine finish would be better i think
