Re: 1972 K20 "Diamond in the Rough"

So i was initially going to have the frame sandblasted, and then paint it with some semi gloss black paint. A friend has a large powder coating oven so i ended up going that route. semi gloss black powder coat. Not show quality by any means, but nice driver quality and should hold up a bit better than paint.

The front and rear axles were in good shape. Basicly just took them down far enough to re-seal them and paint. Had the HO52 cover re-chromed and purchased a new one for the front D44 as it was cheaper than having one rechromed.

Rebuild my rear brake pistons, powder coated most of the parts in my shop powder coating oven. Probably more work that i should have gone though on parts you will never see, but im just nutty enough to do that stuff.
