That frame looks great.   Does paint stick?   That must be a commercial plater, I bet 
galvanizing is not available in too many different places.

I'm working on the rust at the bottom of my tailgate.  I cut a bunch of dead metal 
from the bottom and am trying to fill it without removing the T/G from the elky.    

Also cleaning up & painting the smugglers compartment.  I'm gonna relocate all of the 
"add-on" electrical stuff back there.  
Its got to be water tight, but I'd like to hinge it too - Any ideas?

hi gang
yesterday i dropped my differential and removed my 37 year old rear springs and insulators and replaced them both with new insulators (ebay for $9.99 + shipping) and used springs (also from ebay for less than 20 dollars) the ride is 100% better, i still cant believe how smooth it rides.
the suspension was in really bad shape when i got the car 2 years ago.
i would bottom out on rough roads so i got some spring spreaders and used them on the front until i did the disk brake conversion earlier this year, i installed new(er) front springs at that time.i also had spring spreaders on the rear springs, it helped but still would drag on rough roads or speed bumps, nothing as bad as the sound of your flowmasters dragging bottom.It's hell working on a shoestring budget!
anyway, just thought I'd post this to the group, its been kind of quiet lately. Hows everyone Else's projects going?
would love to hear how everyone else is doing.
