Tranny xmember can go with it, but it is not sandblasted or painted.

I have unfortunately decided to stop my frame off of my 83 FJ60 due to time, money, and work constraints.
Thanks to all for the support and watching! I hate to let everyone down, but life has twists and turns.

Skinner,
I bought two gallons of color for mine... But as you know I am doing complete teardown and respray.
My guess if you are doing jams and outside is 1.5 gallons.
The total hours in January was 338. I will tally them up again after paint and post it up.
For the record, you guys are too kind. Pictures don't show all my flaws. Besides, I am getting to the point where I just want it done... I would really hesitate to do a paint project this big in a 2...
Painting
I got 11.5 hours over the last few days on the 60. I took today off work as the weather was 81°.

Thanks! As I said, cheap and easy. White should hide all my flaws better and it looks good so far.
I am going to do the entire thing in single stage... I may regret it. It does appear to be harder to work with. I have sprayed PPG base/clear and I must admit it is easier to spray the...
Painting
The inner fender wells and radiator support wasn't prepped, but was by far the easiest to start with as they didn't need filler.

Sorry for lack of updates... here goes.

Lack of Progress
Sorry for lack of progress lately... I have spent the last month doing a bathroom remodel for the wife!
I just started cleaning up the garage last night to start the painting, hope to have it painted by June.
I am going to pick up a complete TBI 350 on Saturday, so I'll...
Looks good.
I got the fuzz off my floor with a 4 1/2" angle grinder and wire wheel. I removed the sound deadening prior to that, so I can't say if the wire wheel will damage them or not.
