Finally I get time

After several months of doing nothing, I finally got a day to get some work completed.  I moved the frame outside and finished cutting all of the miscellaneous bolts from the exhaust hangers off.  I scraped, grinded and prepped the back 1/3 of the frame.

I was surprised how clean it actually came.  As I stated in a previous blog, I have decided to go with Rustoleum brand paint.  I was pleased with how the rust reformer performed in small spots I experimented with this winter, so it became the base for the primer.  After about 4 hours, it had turned black and as hard as epoxy so I put on the primer.

So, after a hard day’s work, the back 1/3 of the frame is completed on the outside and ready for the final coat of paint.  I will try and get the rest of the frame finished this week and then I will tackle the inside of the tube frame.
