I used a nappy roller not thinking, but it looks better in person than in these pics. I like it, the SEM rust shield is something, it went on like butter, was tacky in 10min, i had to scramble to keep up to get a second coat on.

Anyway, To this:

**RenoKeene** · 12-29-2011, 03:31 PM

Looks pretty good from here too.

VA72C10 · 12-29-2011, 04:12 PM

Nice progress! Looking good! I like a slight texture to the frame. Also ends up being thicker coating that way I'd assume.

no moa · 12-30-2011, 04:58 PM

Made some progress today, I put the old rearend and leaf springs in there temporarily till i can redo the other rearend and the other heavy duty springs.
Tomorrow will be working on getting the A-Arms apart, cleaned, and painted, then the dreaded reassemble of those. I am concerned, i know they need 250ft of torque or something and i can't find my truck manual.

**RenoKeene** · 12-30-2011, 05:54 PM

I've got all the torque specs, let me know what you need or call me.

**RenoKeene** · 12-31-2011, 10:52 AM

Isn't beautiful Brad, smoking hot gorgues is more like it!!!! (yea i spelled it wrong)

**RenoKeene** · 12-31-2011, 12:00 PM

I think I spelled it wrong too, but I don't know cause I can't spell.
I just figured out my high dollar chrome repop eyebrows don't fit!
Oh well, won't be the first time I blew $100 on a pretty girl, or the last.
Is it too early for a beer?

Ugh, that sucks on the trim. Been there.

I sent you an email, i have a 69 service manual, it gives me the torque specs, but i still want to check them against what you have.
Thanks
Glen

**RenoKeene** · 12-31-2011, 04:38 PM

Didn't get the e-mail, did you send it to the armor1535@aol.com address?
All I have is a Haynes manual so you have better info than I do I think. If your not sure call me and hang up and I'll call you back that way it won't cost you anything (I have a company phone).
