Default Progress On My '62

Parts have begun to arrive for the restoration of the suspension in my '62. The rear end has been cleaned up and waiting the arrival of a 3.55 Eaton Posi kit with new bearings. New tank arrived. waiting for sending unit. Almost all the parts have arrived for the overhaul of the 327 including the Lunati Voodoo cam. Waiting for guides to arrive Xmas Eve. Calcs will be made for new engine specs. Need to order new tires...suggestions?

It sure looks good. Is that paint or did you have it powder coated?

Paint, and lotsa degreasing, scrubbing and cleaning...good ol elbow grease. I'm waiting to see how drive shaft turned out. Brake drums will also be cleaned and painted. Transmission cleaned only...no paint. Not sure what to do about frame. Paint is all wore off. Not planning to paint any body parts including engine bay or fender wells.

Is that epoxy paint? I used to paint a lot of Imron, and some other stuff like it that we used for offshore oil derricks that the finish looks a lot like what you have. Should last a long time... Looks nice.
