Re: Junkyard Jimmy Super Low Buck Build Thread
I ended up doing a little more sandblasting, found some areas I missed. Then finished cleaning it up. The biggest challenge was the rear axle. I have no idea how that thing was so grimy. I scraped it, wire brushed it, sprayed it with brake cleaner, sand blasted, not necessarily in that order. I removed some narly exhaust hangers, and checked it over and decided it was good enough. So I painted it. The summit chassis paint mixed up good and sprayed real good. The only obstacles I had were my cheap spray gun that failed half way through the first batch of spraying ( I used my other gun for the first time), the wind, some stuff blowing out of the tree by the driveway, and working around all the crap mounted up front yet. The hardest thing about spraying the frame is getting around the spring hangers and where the crossmembers meet the frame rails and around the front suspension.
