Re: Project - '69 4x4 named "Patches"

Have any pics of the new front springs for it? I was wondering how much arch they have.It's gonna be sweet when it's done.

Re: Project - '69 4x4 named "Patches"

Well we had some nice weather here yesterday (finally) so I was able to make some progress on Patches with the help of my bro-in-law.

We rolled the frame outside and let it "warm up" a little while we went and got a few supplies.

The chassis paint from PMI (www.nomorerust.com) was really easy to apply. We opted for the foam brush method. I think it turned out pretty good for the most part. I decided to use their satin finish, but it looks pretty glossy to me. Either way it turned out nice.

I'm not making as much progress as I'd like to, but it's progress none the less.

Have you picked a color yet? Any specific shade of red?

Don,

I was thinking of Victory Red, but who knows at this point.
