what kind of paint did you use for everything?

 

[MaGiKaLsHoTs]

valspar from tractor supply

heres the finish coat

and heres the primer

 

[FrankBoss]

make sure you use the hardener with the paint, other wise it will scratch off easy...
Valspar makes some tough paint. I've used a bunch of it in the past.

Looks good so far

wow i didnt even know they had hardener for that lol.. oh well i think theres enough coats of black to harden the primer up.. although i can still dig my fingernail into the paint

well the rear end is on wheels now just need to mount it and mount the front end then its time for motor work

[MaGiKaLsHoTs]

running out of time and money lol... once the axles get bolted up its gonna sit for prolly 2 years because im off to school at the end of this month and im not gonna be able to come back and work on it till im done

going to UTI for auto, diesel, hydralics and the ford FACT program

what radius arms are those?

 

[MaGiKaLsHoTs]

dunno lol i believe their stock with a nut welded at the end for some reason.. all i know is they came off the BII i bought for the axles

 

[MaGiKaLsHoTs]

got my front end all together, cept for the tie rods but they dont fit the the spare rims i have lol

(in this pic they are on but the wheels dont turn haha so i took them off to move it around quick)

 

[MaGiKaLsHoTs]

here is some more front end pics

this is the one with the rims im using cause the spare set didnt clear the tie rods

here is the clearence between the tierods and rim and the caliper and rim

 

[MaGiKaLsHoTs]

well im almost to the final steps of mounting the front end here it is just with the frame sitting on it
