They are holding up great, still look new under there! No rust, but I blasted everything to bare metal again. She is not my daily either for what it's worth...... Speaking of brush on Eastwood.....this stuff is hard core. As you can see I have used it once and forget ever getting that stuff...
I've used the Eastwood 2k epoxy primer and the chassis finish coat to paint three entire axles and some other parts after sandblasting. It's really nice to work with, and comes in spray paint cans! No need for spray rig. It's the most expensive spray paint Ive ever bought, but it is worth...

The 80 box is nice, but is a bit of work to get the bolts to line up and go in on early models. My April 84 had two holes line up , third needed slight opening up, fourth required opening up in a frame and box hole. As along as you know that up front you can make it fit without cutting apart...
