ridgecrawlers shop in progress

Wow, looks like that olde Chevy frame will be good to go for another 20yrs!
Up in my neck of the woods with all the salt they use, there would be snowball's chance in . . .
that the frame would be in such good shape.

Great looking Chevy truck! I was just curious on what you sprayed on the frame?

Really nice work on the shop and the truck! I am partial to those trucks... I miss my 05 it was a nice ride. POR15 for the frame?

 

[ridgecrawler]

Most of these trucks here in KY are getting pretty rough. Some real bad. This ole girl has been garage kept and been under coated pretty well by the previous owner.

Truck looks great. I need to do the same thing to my tahoe sooner than later.

I used a product called chassis saver from magnet paints . I have never used it before but it supposed to be a real tough paint and a rust stopper. Like por15

Cleaned up the bumper took it apart and just brushed coated it with the chassis saver paint . Seems like all the rest bumpers are rusted out with holes in them around here. Should be good for a few more years.

Word of warning wear some sort of gloves when using chassis saver . It will not come off your hands. Lacquer thinner doesn’t phase this ****.

I sprayed my GTO frame in Chassis Saver and warned everyone about it as well. Great stuff but my gloves ripped and my hands were black for 2 weeks haha. Their website says "only time will remove it".

I got por 15 on my hands. 1-2 weeks to get off. My dog got a few stripes, 2-3 months later most of it is gone.

 

[ridgecrawler]

I would say you don't have to worry about Departure angle...
What wheelbase are you going to end up with?

Well, because I saw you're building a Jeep.

Great job on the Jeep so far!
