Yesh hopefully only for a short time. My goal this week is to get the frame pressure washed and looked over then painted with more than likely por15.
I have seen people brush it on is this the best method to coat the frame if you dont own an hvlp gun and spray booth.

Spent $1400 at Willcox on wiring for the 68, a few random parts for the 68 and a flex fit bumper and rear letters for the 75.

I've had good results with a die grinder / wire wheel, Duplicolor Rust Fix and Rustoleum.

This stuff works well down the inside:

How many cans did you use doing your frame?

MSGT-R

I'm going to buy four, haven't gotten that far yet. Soon, though.
Gotta fix that last frame member first. It was pretty bent-up.

Finished cleaning and putting the engine back together after new fuel line and strut brace install. Put new cushions in the drivers side. Seemed like everything on the cushion were narrow, had call for bubba. Now a good detailing and wait for the salt on roads to go away. And it's cruising time

I internally coated mine using eastwood. i used 4 cans and it worked great. I used green so that I can see any missed spots better. I recommend using cardboard or a plastic sheet under the frame because it WILL be messy.

I got the lowdown from Member Dub concerning saving my deck LID that the previous owner permanently bonded to the deck......

how often do fuel sending units go bad in the 79/80 corvettes? i'm doing a full rebuild and mine works just fine. I'm wondering should i just throw a new one in.
today I ordered all new brake/fuel lines and electroless nickel plated my strut rod brace for the rear diff

If it ain't broke, don't fix it.

Wow, do you have a bore-scope for that frame?

blue by you

Fixed my door adjar switch, had to put all new pins in that i found at pep boys

If it ain't broke, take it apart and find out why not!

Last night i pressure washed the frame, trailing arms, center section, trans cross member, and leaf springs.
Hopefully round 2 can happen tonight when i get home.
Only found minor surface rust on a few places. Should come right off with some rust remover and be ready for paint in a couple days.

I got my transmission mounted to my new removable x-over.

Since I'm running sidepipes, got rid of the mechanical parking brake by using an electric one, body is not off- so I didn't want to weld- I just used some 3" x 1-1/2" x 3/16" 36" in length steel rectangular for about $20.

I finished all the holes on my new cross member, now I have to get four nuts tack-welded to the outer ends. In the meantime, I put new rubber on my steering coupling.
