Not the best pics, but I'm getting there. Hope they can be viewed. Some are "before" pics, even though I have them catpioned as "painted."

Excellent progress. Did you paint the frame?

I used Chassis black over POR. I used POR under the entire car as well. The fire wall was re-seam sealed, and also received POR and Chassis Black. I have the spindles, backing plates and the other part that goes with the spindle (not sure of the name) at the sand blasters right now. Thank you for the comment. :) TC has inspired me almost as much as the car itself.

Did the POR stuff give off any fumes/odors (I assume you brushed it)?

I'm not sure if I did it right, but I sprayed the POR outside in the back yard. I brushed the Chassis black on in the garage. I wore the best repsirator I could afford when I sprayed it outside, and I stayed upwind as much as possible. Even thought the frame has some rough spots (maybe they all do) I tried to smooth it out best I could. Some of the roughness came through, but the frame is covered well, and looks pretty good. If I could do it over, I'd have spent more time making sure the frame was much smoother. I don't know if it was simply pitted from the rust, or if that is the way the frames are just because of the metal that was used.

I am planning to have the front end back on this weekend, and the car back on her wheels. Don't know if I will get it painted or not this summer, but I plan to try very hard. I am taking three classes this summer, so it might be tight. I have never driven the car, and my hopes are to at least take her around the block. Cross your fingers.
