Re: '72 Frame Up Rebuild

Got some before and after pics on the frame.

That POR is amazing stuff.....definitely oil based and when they say Permanent...I think they mean permanent!

I'm going to get it another coat tomorrow.

The frame and gas tank only took maybe a hair more than a pint but less than a quart for one coat.

I'm planning to do my axles after they are prepped.

I was ready to POR anything in sight today ;-)

Also a shot of my new "naked" 383 stroker sitting next to my old 327.

Not going to put to much effort or money into the axles, just clean them up, check seals and wear...replace what is necessary and leave it at that because the next phase will be ARB lockers so I don't want to put too much money into them right now.

And...I would LOVE to do a disc brake on the rear....maybe next phase.

Anway....here is the frame as it sits right now.
