Thanks for taking time to talk me through all these finishes Dan!!!!
They are too beautiful to put back together!!!! I am trying to follow these step by step instructions closely! I am so impressed with the grey Phos coated parts especially, those are the 50 Shades of grey that make a 999 car!!! Ryan |

Wow, looks very nice!!
I like the jigs you have to prevent bending the arms!! Are you using the non boxed lower control arms? upgrading to F41? adding huge ladder bars? Ryan |

Nice progress Dan. Everything looks well organised and neat and tidy.

Re: 1969 SS396 325hp Chevelle
Hey Dan, question for you... I was told by a fairly educated source that there are new means of filling pit marks in metal through multiple rounds of powder coating parts (frames, control arms, brackets, etc). He would not elaborate though. Is this a similar process you deployed or is this a 1-coat process?
Thanks, Dan |
Re: 1969 SS396 325hp Chevelle
Hi Dan,
This frame did not need any extra powder coat. I have a good degree of experience with Powder Coaters and Powder Coating. I will say this....not all powder coaters are the same....using extra powder coat can come out terrible and can come out fantastic....again it depends on the powder coater and their product. One thing is for certain, you will pay more for the extra process and extra powder coat. Again I would ask and work with your powder coater to make sure than you both are happy with the end result. Once you tell a powder coater you want extra powder.....the price goes up. Dan |
Re: 1969 SS396 325hp Chevelle

Re: 1969 SS396 325hp Chevelle
Looking good Dan. What type of coating did you use on the gear box!

Re: 1969 SS396 325hp Chevelle
Nice work on the power steering box Dan. Did it need a rebuild as well as the cosmetic treatment?
|
Re: 1969 SS396 325hp Chevelle
No rebuild required [img]<<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/biggthumpup.gif[/img]

Re: 1969 SS396 325hp Chevelle
Here is dual punch date on this power steering box. Maybe the assembly line worker had
one to many scotch on the rocks for the new year. Marc. https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/pics...ringbox011.jpg |
