A little more progress
I've been working on the truck off/on and finally got around to painting the frame. I tossed around the color option of green or black for a few months before deciding on black. I used John Deere Blitz black because I know a few guys that build cars and they say its a real good durable paint for a frame.

Re: A little more progress
Very nice, did you paint all of the brackets for the frame at the same time?

The "garage" is actually my 30x50 shop.
Ok, as long as you do have some sort of normalness in there.

Keep the updates coming..it might incite one of us (namely, me) to get back into gear and work on ours

Re: A little more progress
It's always so nice when you get to start putting it back together. Taking stuff apart is fun, but the bagging and cleaning, not so much.
Your frame looks great!

You should have left some clutter around the frame. That pic could have been photoshopped. Nice job on the paint though!
