Frame looks pretty clean...

 

[MScruiser]

It is, only visible rust is in the rear bumper/gussets.

She gon look nice blasted and powder coated!

I just finished spraying all the bolts I could see with PB Blaster.

Also removed the radiator and hoses.

 

[SHUSH]

are you loosing 10 pounds of water each time you work on it?

# impressed...

 

[MScruiser]

It's hot as fawk in the garage. Mississippi sucks in the summer.

Drinking lots of beer to stay cool and slightly hydrated

 

[MScruiser]

I am still Leaning toward buying my own pot blaster to do the work myself.

It's hard to justify paying someone $500 when I can buy all the tools and materials for the same price. I may just pull the trigger on the Brut 99h.

So, to prepare for the removal of the drivetrain: Besides removing the engine mount bolts and disconnecting the driveshafts, is there anything else that needs to be done?

 

[MScruiser]

This is the color I am planning on going with: Olive 637

 

[wngrog]

That's A great color.

 

[MScruiser]

Thanks; I'm in love with it

 

[wngrog]

That's @wct49 s color right?

 

[ntsaint]

That's @wct49 s color right?

Yes

 

[MScruiser]

Yes

I believe Tolleson's rig is Color 653

The 637 has a more yellow tint and less brown.
