What did you paint your frame with?
How did you go about prepping the metal?
Did you remove your front suspension or paint it assembled?

I'm in the process of determining how I should do mine.

Thanks

Don't know the exact sizes, but bolts going into the engine block, heads, intake are standard 5/16, or 3/8. Accessories could be either standard or metric, but on an 87, probably metric

Working on the rest of the frame. I did not do a frame off. The hood compartment was painted first, assembled. But I had it sandblasted. As far as the rest of the frame. I will sand that as good as I can, then apply rust preventing primer, then paint that.

Making progress yet so anxious!
