Re: Project: Custom 71 4x4 hotrod

All of mine is powder coated then toipped with clear. It was one of the best decisions I made on the build. I agree on your one thought thou....... you need to have everything mocked up EVERYTHING. I had ALMOST everyhting. I never put my driveshafts in because I thought they would be fine. Well I have a 1350 cv in the front shaft and it is a lot bigger than the stock 1310 stlye. Bottom line is I had to grind the top side of the crosssmemeber jsut to get it to fit. Plus I wish I could add a set of front traction bars (let the flaming start on why anyone would ever want to do this...ahhahah) but I have no place on the frame to attach them to now!!

Bottom line- just make sure you like everything before it goes to the powdercoaters!!

Good luck and keep the pics coming
