Re: 49' Patina bagged in PA

6-9 got a bit tied up this weekend but I am close to being on track. Got front end blown apart, stripped and coated. Still gotta finish up the back, then the bottom of frame. Gotta do shock mounts up front too but I'll worry about that down the road. Might wait one more weekend to bring engine up. Still undecided on what to put over this chassis saver. I still have a good bit of aluminum paint I might coat it with but I'v been liking the black.

Oh and I managed to strip the top, do some final welds and coat in about 4-5 hours. I used some cheap flap discs for angle grinders, 40 grit. Got 20 or 25 of them for like 30 bucks off amazon. I used 4-5 discs so far. So still cheaper than sandblasting. As much as I don't like taking the time to strip a frame, this method is way better than using a wire wheel. been there done that, never again.
