Chassis zinc spray part 2

With the bottom of the chassis and the frame-head finished, it's time to continue with the rest of the chassis. The back-end has the be sanded clean and the center has to be sandblasted and sanded. But first, let's take a look at the original state the chassis was in. I almost forgot how bad it looked. In the pictures below you can see the very first beginning.

It looks horrible, but everything is possible. Just keep the faith!! There is only one good method to tackle this much work, lots of TIME.

After an incredible amount of time, you will get something that looks like this.

When all the sanding is done, be sure to clean all dust and use something like thinner to remove oil and grease (your air-tools usually use a little oil). After that you can apply the zinc spray.

This makes two fans. I am currently at the same stop you are at in the restoration(with a 64 beetle) and have appreciated your incite into our project.

Perhaps i can get my project blogged on facebook.

Can’t wait for the next updated!
