Thanks for the response guys... I think I will go with the same idea as VA72C10 and do the hammered rattle can. If I get it chipped, it will be as easy to repair as anything else. Plus, I am not going for the smmoooth look as Slick67 mentioned.

I hope to have it painted soon, if the weather ever warms above freezing

I think it is Rustoleum Hammered finish (several colors available) and the primer is rattle can Rustoleum Rusty Metal (can has a brown lid). Wally World sells it at a decent price ( $5- $7/ can) VA72C10 said it should take 4-5 cans primer and 7-8 cans of the paint, depends on how thick you want it. Check out his build and he has some good info on it. Thats where I got the idea...
(Thanks, Jonathan!

)

Thanks for looking

looks like progress to me....

mcbassin · 01-19-2010, 10:01 AM

Good progress! It looks to me like you have plenty of room to work in your shop. Hey you have space all the way around it.

You better watch out for child labor laws!

VA72C10 · 01-19-2010, 11:04 AM

Frame's looking good!

Thanks for the kind words.. I appreciate the encouragement and I know it is slow, but progress is progress

I love looking at other peoples builds for motivation and inspiration! Oh, and any time anyone is down around my way, I would be glad to let you help

I might even grill some meat or something like that

tim23mn · 01-19-2010, 11:27 AM

Looking good man! Keep at it!

Slick67 · 01-19-2010, 01:07 PM

Careful Grunt, free food offers may get more help than you want!!! The frame is lookin good. A little paint, a few lollipops and cookies, and it will be done before you know it!!!

Bring it on.. the more the merrier!

VA72C10 · 01-23-2010, 11:53 AM

looks good from here

I'm sure it will turn out great. I've just used the rustoleum primer in a can if I need to temp. prime it...

**67cheby** · 01-23-2010, 12:00 PM

nice job on the welding

mcbassin · 01-23-2010, 01:16 PM

Looks good to me! X2 on the spray can rustoleum. I have been using some self etching primer that will prevent it from rusting until I can actually start on body work. Then I will switch to a car grade epoxy primer.

0331grunt · 01-25-2010, 09:32 AM

I was able to get a few things done this weekend.. I picked up a spot blaster from a "truckload sale" for $5! Small, but it works. I got the upper arms done and in paint

(stealing the color scheme from VA72C10

)...I just really wanted to see some color for motivation!! Should have time to work some more this week... hopefully (supposed to be cold, tho

)

Thanks guys.. I got some of the Rustoleum stuff and it seems like a good deal. I am looking forward to getting more done and now that I know I can at least "patch weld" I am more excited

JohnC · 01-25-2010, 10:07 AM

Looks good man. Keep it up!

VA72C10 · 01-25-2010, 10:08 AM

I like that color scheme

Keep up the progress...

Slick67 · 01-25-2010, 11:41 AM

Nice! The hammered look is cool.

mcbassin · 01-25-2010, 02:07 PM

That paint looks good! I wonder how it will hold up? It looks just like powder coat. Sweet!

0331grunt · 01-25-2010, 03:45 PM

Thanks guys! Its nice to know someone is looking

I hope the paint holds up..I have put it on fairly thick and will do the same on the frame, only black. From what Jonathan has said, it should. Besides, its just paint and can be touched up if needed

JohnC · 01-25-2010, 04:39 PM

I think you'll be pleased with it. Like you said if it messes up, you can always shoot it again!

mcbassin · 02-01-2010, 09:55 AM

The frame looks really good! You probably already said but what paint are you using? How do you think it will hold up?thanks

ps, your springs definetly look orange....not the best color for this area.

Oldesole7472 · 02-01-2010, 10:36 AM

i really hope you leave the paint how it is...

Thanks! I am using Rustoleum hammerd finish paint. I think it will be alright, only time will tell. Others seem to have good luck with it.
I just want some color under there.. may change my mind on it tho...
