I have read through the FAQs and searched the forum but there doesn’t seem to be a clear winner when it comes to the best way to restore a frame.
I’ve got an ‘81 BJ42 stripped down to the frame. The rust is only surface rust with a couple small deeper rust spots that will be cut out and new pieces welded in.
I want to remove all of the rust and then finish the frame to prevent rust for many years to come. What’s the best method? Do I have it hot dipped and then galvanized? So I have it blasted and then powder coated or covered in bed liner? What is the best way to make this survivor frame as impervious as possible? If price wasn’t much of a concern, what would you do to have the ultimate frame?
