Barney and L’il Bit

[Heather’s94]

“Finished” up the tag along. I might upgrade from the factory 8.00-12 wheel/tire combo to a set of 14” deer hoof wheels and 205/70s, since I have them.

With a 2.3/5spd and 3.45s I know Barney is not a tow pig, but… 5x8 mower trailer, cut down Co-op stock racks, old display table top that DG threw away… I might colorize it, might leave it flat black. Only rated for 2000#, but…

Clean a spot? Paint a spot. Repeat ad nauseaum…

Should be basically cloisonne by the time the frame is done. Letting the sun flow/bake the paint in stages. Until it turns smooth…
Waste of time? Waste of old paint?
Naw…

Going to try and flip the passenger shackle this weekend. Once the back half of the frame is smooth blue, on to the bright red rear springs and cream rear axle.

Heard back from DST Suspension. Prothane had a bad run of bushings a few years back. Explains the heat induced failures. No big deal, bushings are A: consumables and B: inexpensive. I just wanted bright red or yellow because I can see them more easily. Yellow is no longer available so, red it will be.
