Suspension or Undercarriage Pictures
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"? |

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 |

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...:thumbs: ESPECIALLY with those chrome universal caps.:D
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... :D :D http://www.imagesup.com/usr/79/72RearRe-Build_002.jpg http://www.imagesup.com/usr/79/72RearRe-Build_004.jpg Eddie |
