Thats looking great....man !!
What type of paint you using for the TC?
Same as engine paint.
That's going to be one sweet blue FJ60.

The morning started early about 06:00 and this is the progress so far.. The engine bay cleaned up, removed the motor mounts, cleaned the frame and treated the rust also shot the interior of the frame with LPS...primered and then new undercoating...

More pic's of the frame clean up primer and undercoat, and the final outcome...

Finished frame... And you know you can't resist.. And the TC will be black to match the tranny but I will put some Blue on it somewhere's and I hit the spot you see I missed...

Manuchao I am using paint I get from Ceram Kote it is good up to 1500 degrees and it has super impact resistance... Same stuff we use on the F-35..
