Beautiful job on every little detail. This thing will be amazing to see done. I'll be following for some inspiration. Has me thinking about how deep I want to get into mine. Keep it coming.

Inspirational! Love the attention to detail.
Is that zinc plating easy to do? Toxic? Thinking I might want to zinc some bolts.

| Your chassis looks really nice. I am currently working on mine trying to strip all the protective undercoating off. I see from your picture you were using a grinder. This is the same way I have been doing mine. One question is how did you get in all the right areas? Also is that POR-15 that you coated it with? I was talking about coating mine with it and someone here stated it may be better for me to paint or powder coat since my chassis has zero rust and that POR-15 may not stick to the surface of a non rusted chassis. |

Yes I was using a grinder with a wire wheel. I only used It on the center tunnel area. The rest I sandblasted with a harbor freight pot blaster. I did coat it with por15. I have used Por15 for many years on lots of projects. I have used it on freshly sandblasted metal, rusty metal, already primed metal and with/without the metal prep. Never have had an issue with it adhering. I also topcoat it with spray paint when it is almost dry and still tacky. Painting or powder coating will result in a nicer finish though.

| just curious I was looking at one of those harbor freight pressurized blasters to finish it off and help speed up the process on the hard to reach spots. about how many pounds of sand did you go through? and did you use sand, glassbead, alum oxide? |

| oh nice I will look into that then. I plan to do the same thing with setting tarps in my front yard and blasting in the front yard. is that pretty much all you did ... no walls or anything around the blasting area just wide open area? was skeptical about loosing too much of the media with blasting outdoors without anything but a ground tarp. any extra info is appreciated |

Hello, did you use the brush on por 15 or the spray version?
Thanks |
