Re: 1970 VA Longbed Project

Well, I told you I had decided to mix things up a bit. Decided to go two tone on the chassis. I did all the frame in a black hammered finish and all of the suspension/steering will be in hammered silver. Will do the brake parts with a smooth gloss black made for calipers/drums so those parts won't stand out so much behind the wheels.

Going for a silver and black theme with the body color being the splash. Will have chrome and black on the engine as well as body color.

Exhaust will be ceramic coated (headers) or polished (mufflers)

Here is the steering box...before. (after cleaning and paint prep)...



Once coat and the tools I used


After


And a closeup of the finish



Also got the trailing arms done....will get better pictures once installed...
