Weekend update -

Got the oil pan and tranny pan painted. Used bed liner.
It filled in the pits on the oil pan nicely, looks new now.

Here's the brand shock I'm using. Monroe Reflex.

Finished spraying the underside with rubber/liner.
This is not the same liner I used for the oil/tranny pans,
and looks A LOT better in person.

Recap: underside has primer, 2 coats Zero Rust and a thick layer of bed liner!
If this doesn't extend its life, I don't know what would.

Sweet!

Have some touch-ups to do with the liner still.
Otherwise, the brake/tranny lines should arrive tonight.
Get those in, then we can place the engine/tranny.

Once this hurdle has been jumped, on to the sheet metal...

Thanks for looking all!
