Getting the frame ready pics
I'm working on getting the rear-end and springs for paint. It seems like a never ending job, but I'm getting there. The frame currently is getting powder coated so I'm hoping to get all the suspension parts done asap. I will post pics of the frame as soon its finished, maybe next week. I've posted pics of the frame before and suspension parts.

re: Getting the frame ready pics
I'm paying $430.00 to powder coat the frame, cross members and motor mounts! Money well spent I think. I spent about fifteen hours sanding on the frame thinking I would paint it. As time went on I knew I couldn't get to all the tight areas. I called a couple sandblasing companies here in north Sand Diego and got two quotes. I got one at $600 and the other at $400 something. I told myself never again will I go through that process again. Still kicking myself for doing all that work for nothing. Frame color will be bright RED. Cant wait.

Not a bad price for powder coating.
