Chassis zinc spray part 1

After the bottom of the frame head it was time to start on the rest of the chassis. First the bottom, than the top. The rest of the underside was in relative good condition. Just a lot of Schutz, mud, oil and grease. But that's much better than holes and rust.



I first used a chisel to remove the Schutz, than thinner to remove the oil and grease. Than it was time to get the sandblaster out to work. This resulted in the above shown nice bare metal. As you can see the edges along the center console are a little rusty with small corrosion holes.






To prevent corrosion I sprayed zinc on the bare metal. I will fill the small corrosion holes after welding the floor pan halves back in. As you can see there are still glass beads on the floor. I decided not to cleanup before spraying. This would cause to much dust in the air for too long.
