OK...so it's next week....here is where we are now!
frame and engine still on the wheels I went out and got an estimate on Powder coating...$850 for the frame, inner fender walls, all the pans behind the grill, steering arms, and a host of other small parts...that includes sandblasting too. The guy said he would coat the parts with zinc for rust prevention before coating. Best of all, the shop is only mile away!
I don't think the price is too bad!
