Re: 1969 Short Wide
More progress, Spent about 12 hours blasting, priming, and painting the frame, it was a long day. Finally, I can start re-assembling. Also got some new parts in Friday too. Very dissappointed in the packaging they used. I hope the spindle threads weren't damaged.
Pics: back to blasting http://i14.photobucket.com/albums/a3...sin/69-152.jpg Ready for primer http://i14.photobucket.com/albums/a3...sin/69-153.jpg Primered http://i14.photobucket.com/albums/a3...sin/69-154.jpg Painted http://i14.photobucket.com/albums/a3...sin/69-155.jpg New spindles http://i14.photobucket.com/albums/a3...sin/69-151.jpg |
Re: 1969 Short Wide
The frame looks killer Mike!
Where did you pick up the spindles? |

I bought them from a guy on Ebay, LINK he was a little cheaper than most places. I originally ordered the 2.5" Westerns but they were back ordered. He had the Belltech 3" #3120 drop shipped direct to my house for the same price. They look like really good quality parts. I paid $248 shipped. |
Re: 1969 Short Wide
That's a good deal.
Is the frame black or a gray color? |
Re: 1969 Short Wide
They look good. How much total drop are you planning?

Re: 1969 Short Wide
gonna be a real nice build, laughed at the jb weld, we actually did this to a 3.0 v6 in my old boat that frost cracked over winter to get on the lake while the replacement was being shipped, it was probably pretty risky, but it held until the new one came in, keep up the progress

Re: 1969 Short Wide
Great looking frame and suspension!!
Now, Anytime you make a frame modification, You can touch it up with a rattle can :D Spike:smoke: |
Re: 1969 Short Wide
Killer Job Mike!!
parts look great!! I'm guessing you sprayed the hammered paint, no? where did you pick it up? and can you brush or roll it on? sorry for all the questions, I think we are getting the wife's frame for her '66 blasted here soon and I'm still on the fence about paint. I know a place in OKC where I can get big rig chassis paint, that is the way we are leaning at the moment |
Re: 1969 Short Wide
:jdp: wow mike there are no words , my frame was primed in the exact primer
|
Re: 1969 Short Wide
I like the way the frame turned out!!! Nice!! :metal:
|
Re: 1969 Short Wide
Nothing better than a complete frame off restoration Mike, everthing looks really good. I see you are going to lower it 4/6, How much does that give you for travel between frame and axel?

thanks for the info! does bare metal have to be primed first? did you get the primer at Lowes also? how long is the dry time on both of them? Quote:

I'm not sure how close the rear diff is going to be to hitting bump stops or frame? If I find it bottoming out I can put a bolt in c-notch. I prefer not to but if I need to I will. Nate's (Blank Slate) has the setup I am shooting for HERE. |
Re: 1969 Short Wide
Here you go Joe, this should give you an idea of what the paint looks like dried. The can says "hammered" but it seems to lay pretty flat when sprayed. I wonder if you use a brush it looks more hammered?

Re: 1969 Short Wide
The frame turned out very nice. Nice job.

Re: 1969 Short Wide
Very nice Mike!
Thanks I think we are going to try rolling it on and see how it works. Posted via Mobile Device |
Re: 1969 Short Wide
