I'm not sure what I am going to do about paint. I'm really digging the bare metal look but that isn't a long term plan. The mechanicals are done. http://rides.webshots.com/photo/2708854620106367558immvyk | | | | | Joined: Dec 2002 Posts: 2,549 'Bolter | | 'Bolter Joined: Dec 2002 Posts: 2,549 | | | | | | Joined: Jan 2010 Posts: 37 New Guy | | New Guy Joined: Jan 2010 Posts: 37 | Looks like a really nice base to your project.

Paint remover, razor blades and sandpaper. I did have the grill blasted.

It will protect the metal and eliminate any left over debris from miniscule rust pits and the sanding process. As long as she's kept out of the rain it will last that way for years.
Good job!
