Thanks Chad!


Few more recent pics. Got the rear suspension parts blasted, epoxied with PPG DPLF, and painted. Those rear leaf and hanger bushings were a pain to remove! I'll shoot epoxy on the front suspension parts tomorrow. We bought a 110# soda blaster and a couple bags of soda (non abrasive) for blasting the 352. It was poorly repainted when it was rebuilt and we don't want to paint over the rattle can paint that's on it. We'll have single stage color matched so we can spray it with a hardened paint for better oil and gas resistance.


Epoxy:




Flattened single stage:











The I-beams were blasted, then new king pins and bushings were installed. They're prepped with PPG DX series Metal Cleaner and Metal Conditioner and ready for epoxy.






The manifolds were blasted and coated with Calyx manifold dressing.
