THINGS THAT GO VROOM

STRIP IT BACK DOWN

February 15, 2010 by Troy Leave a Comment

Now that most of the fab work is done, it’s time to get ready for paint. Unfortunately that means stripping off all the suspension, steering, and brakes again. The good thing is that it makes you fix all the little problems discovered during the chassis fabrication phase of the project. Things like welding up cracks, replacing stripped out captives, and fixing broken hinges. This prep work will also entail a lot of wire wheeling, degreasing, sanding, and primering prior to the two-stage POR-15 Hardnose paint application on the underbody, engine compartment, and interior.
