Re: Started my first frame off - 72 SWB LS1, 6-spd manual
nice build, is the shifter going to be under the front seat. looks way back in the pics. i like the finish of your frame, i had mine powdercoated in a smooth gloss and it was the worst mistake i made.

What do you regret about the smooth gloss on the frame? The gloss color instead of satin or something else?

if you breathe wrong on the gloss finish it scratches. you have to be way to carefull during assembly. go with a semi gloss finish when you coat it or it will take decades to reassemble it without scratching it. i went with a super wet black, bad mistake.

Good to know. I was trying to make up my mind on which to go with satin or gloss on the frame. That makes the decision for me. Thanks for sharing, I'm sure it will help others make the right choice too.
