bryan_m Posted May 28, 2012 Posted May 28, 2012 (edited) this project has been sittin for a while, so i thought i would at least get the frame done..and now i have somewhere to put that ardun flattie i just built that wouldnt fit in "bad banana" heres a couple shots of what i did to lower it.. i cut the center of the crossmember out where the leaf springs mounted, it wont be super low, but its way better than stock height! heres the rear suspension... and my tire choice...rmm firestones w/wide whites.. this one will be ratty! more to come, thanks for lookin! bryan Edited June 4, 2012 by bryan_m
bryan_m Posted May 28, 2012 Author Posted May 28, 2012 ok, the frame is assembled, im trying the Dr. cranky method this time, he always assembles the frames and then shoots them. this one is gonna go get shot with "brown boots", and red oxide primer......ill let that dry, and lightly mist it with some water, then hit it with flat black. let it dry a bit and then i hit it with a toothbrush....its a great technique that usually yields great results.... stay tuned, headed to the paintbooth now.... thanks for lookin! bryan
bryan_m Posted May 28, 2012 Author Posted May 28, 2012 ok, i shot it with brown boots, and then red primer. misted on some water, and shot it black..........heres what i got now ill let it dry, and start with the rust n gunk! stay tuned bryan
