1928 Model A Highboy

[Midlife C]

Finally found some time to work on the car, final welding is finished and the frame is in 2K primer sealer, nice to see it in something other than bare steel.

Looks good.

What color are you painting the chassis? Is the body getting paint as well?

 

[Midlife C]

Chassis will be Charcoal grey with the body a few shades lighter, wheels and engine will be bright red.

Trying out the new IMGUR account with a couple pics, started painting chassis parts, grey looks almost black till the light hits it, should look pretty good.

Car is slowly accumulating in my basement, a very tedious process painting the car in pieces.

Car got it's dancing shoes today, should look pretty good for junkyard rims and shiny paint, just need to source some spider caps. Also need to figure out a good way to get that blue coating off, pressure washer maybe.

EDITED:

Also need to figure out a good way to get that blue coating off, pressure washer maybe.

I use SOS pads and a damp cloth to wipe the residue off.

Three hours with a wire wheel and a pressure washer to get the rear diff squeaky clean for two coats of sealer, should have colour by tomorrow morning.

 

[Rusty Olds]

The effort will be worth it.

Got the rear diff painted this morning and put the wheels on, the red in my opinion works pretty well with the grey. Decided to go red on the rear caliper mounts for a little direct contrast. Also cleaned but didn't paint the rear diff bolts for a cleaner look.

A little more progress, got the rear suspension in today and squared it up, Going to tackle the front suspension in the morning and push t outside to see how it looks.

...looking great and another plateau achieved (and a few more to go, of course)

Colour combo is looking good.

 

[Midlife C]

Likely the first deadline I have met so far but it's officially a roller again and the best part is it's not coming apart again.

 

[Rusty Olds]

Yes, good feeling knowing it's not coming apart again.

Nice work.....frame sure looks bare from the rear with that link setup hidden behind the crossmember.

I thought the same thing, but a figure a car sitting on it should fill things out
