last week I turned some wrenches again 😀

and today I wire brushed the interior and painted it with some rust preventive paint 8)

looks good so far except the trans crossmember. Are you just wire wheeling and painting over it? Make sure to scuff it up after wire wheeling the metal w sand paper or something. I did that and the paint didn't adhere, because the metals surface was too smooth. Anyways, I really like your build so far

thanks! yeah for the interior I just wire wheeled it, cleaned everything, wiped with acetone solvent and painted with rust preventive paint. thanks for your advice, next time I'll sand the wire wheeled metal. 8)

Great work!!! Lovin the build.yeah i've had great results with the por-15 "system" .some people have stated that it has failed them,but don't mention that they just applyied the paint itself with NO prep,i.e.sanding/roughing up surface and following up with the" metal prep" that is essential. For paint adhesion.im planing on doing this. To my 87 t-topped ss frame off build this coming week.keep them wrenches turning,happy building,and cant wait for whats instore for your mc!
