Re: 57 Truck build
After removing all the unnecessary riveted on things on my chassis, I took the chassis to the powder coater and had them sand blast it . Only took the afternoon.
I then took it home and gave it two coats of Duplacolor self etching primer and two coats of Duplacolor semi gloss black paint . By the evening it was ready to start the next day .
This gave me a non rusting chassis to work on for less then $ 200 .
Then the fun began with the installation of the boxing plates , the I.F.S. Cross member and rear brackets for the fat bar rear suspension. All that was required was a little grinding where the welding was to be done and afterwards touch up with self etch primer and paint.
Sure beats grinding for days and gives you a painted chassis read for assembly.
