So been busy. Once we got the body back on and figured out where everything needs to go and tacked, body back off for final welding. Now it's stripped back down, getting ready for paint. In another post there was talk of POR15 and I offered up my solution for paint as epoxy primer and SEM Trim Black for top coat. Met with my paint supplier today and we're going to try a new approach, should be far better durability and fewer steps. I'll post up a pic of the material and let you know how it goes. This stuff is industrial and essentially will go over anything and because it's catalyst it holds up to chemicals like brake fluid and other nasties. He said it will go over bare metal, old paint, rust... anything... I'm still prepping to make sure and using it as the base for the Bronze on the tube work. With any luck, next week we'll be all painted up and going into final assembly. Right about the time Marlin sends out the new diffs. Went with a high pinion v6 in front and V6 rear with Grizzlies and 5:29s. It's looking like it will be done in plenty of time to test run a few times before the Roundup so we're registering both rigs later this week. Hoping to check out some of these other builds up there.
