Frame is back from power coating. Arizona Powdercoating did an excellent job coating the frame.

Wilwood Brakes also came in. We went with a 6 piston front setup with 12.19" rotors and a 4 piston rear with 11" calipers. This will allow him to have the option of running a 15" wheel later.

Looks really good! What did you spray it with?

Started installing some of the rear suspension while we had plenty of space to access everything. Also went ahead and installed the G-Force cross member, pre-bent brake lines, and fuel lines

Thanks! We used a commercial grade rubberized undercoating made by Class C Solutions Group. It lays on pretty smooth with a light texture. the part number on the can is BD1137
