Does anyone have pics to show what you did to your Suspension or Undercarriage? I am looking for stock scenarioes to modified. Also can you specifically state what types of paint you used and colors? Has anyone ventured to the 'hammered' paint - I thought that may look kinda cool on the spindles

i sandblasted all the parts frt & rear then gave them a coat of por 15 after etching & topcoated w/por 15 ford red engine paint. the frame i coated w/por 15 & topcoated w/krylon semi black. also used por 15 to coat the shell & wheelwells. i used dupli color red anodized paint for 1/2shafts & shocks

Rosslato,
Was the anodized red mixed and sprayed or was it available in "rattle-can"?

Yellow73SB

It's in a rattle can.

I painted my frame hammered gunmetal. I can get pics later.

pretty much stock setup except for the VB+P HD strut rods. rustoleum semi-gloss black and aluminum paint and a whole lot of new fasteners.

Rosslato - as always - WOW !.... Chris and I are heading in the same direction...

Yellow73 - grab some pics - eager to see that hammered look. Where else did ya use it? You happy with it?

I think the red really looks nice.

How does your 'painting work' hold up - how long ago did you paint it and how often do you drive it. Just trying to assess for myself and others how well each style of paint holds up

sand blasted to bare metal, then rattle can Rustoleum stainless steel color and Krylon black

i did the rear end work 8,ooo mi ago which is 2 summers & have just a few paint chips on the front of the shocks but nothing on the 1/2shafts or TA's. the frt suspension i just did last spring & have 4,ooomi on it & no chips, still like when i did it. everything Red up front is coated w/por 15 engine paint, that stuff is hard.
P S-your homepage isn't working

kaiserbud

hmmm - I did not relaize POR 15 had engine paint. Will check out. That is good info on the condition of your work. thanks. What did you use on the silver underbody - any difference on temps.

This is working out well - as I can see what others painted, with different color combinations.

Swede - I like how you did your links to the photos. As for my homepage... I know - will try to address after the car is back together.

Rosslato is a pretty hard act to follow... ESPECIALLY with those chrome universal caps.
Here's my POR-15 frame & suspension. Frame is topcoated with Eastwood Chassis Black. I have since completed the rest of the frame, but no pics yet. I'm still lookin for those caps Ross...

I'm going for the bare steel look

delamorajc

Now that has to be one of the best looking under carriages! tell us how much you have invested in her

Edzred72

Actually it's an old AOSmith 355lb composite. Running KYB GR-2 shocks (for composite) from Vansteel. No complaints...
