Damn, now i wish i had gone ahead and cleaned my frame up while my truck was apart..... Helluva build man!!!

 

Thanks... My frame was pretty bad. If you look at the pics prior to these you will see it was pretty shitty. Everything is going back new so it was jus bugging the **** out of me how ugly the frame looked, had to do something about it. Glad I went with this 3M stuff, frame came out exactly how I wanted.

 

Man, I'll never forget the days I spent doing the entire frame on my truck. Such a nasty pain in the ***. Like you, I found that scraping with a razor blade first worked the best. Then I used varsol soaked rags to wipe it down.

 

My frame is mostly surface rust, i wanted to wire brush it all and either have it powder coated or paint with sonething similar to what you used and would have probably added at least a month, but with the situation i didnt have the time, between the health issue i dealt with and getting basically kicked out of the workspace i was using!! Life got in the way!!

 

Yeah I hear ya man, reason this project has been taking me so long to finish. Get tied up in a lot of other things this thing gets put off to the side.

 

Anyone with half a brain doesnt listen to him and alot of **** he thinks is new has been done before he was butchering vehicles together

 

Nothing really special for an update but did get my Holley alternator and power steering pump brackets in... (AC compressor is still going to be in the stock location) Due to how my driver side turbo header crosses over I needed to make some extra room to keep heat off of things. I didn't want to have an issue with being right near or touching anything with a hot header especially since this is still a street truck and do plan on driving it pretty often. So with these brackets should push the alternator out giving room for the driver side fuel rail and fittings and push the power steering pump up and to the side giving plenty of room for the header to cross over under it with plenty of room to keep things cool. Gotta plan everything out as to minimize any potential issues. Something small and for most not worth doing but I plan to spend more time enjoying this truck then constantly working on it and fixing little things that could have been prevented if I just took a little extra time on...

 

This brackets look almost like modified car brackets.....

 

Yeah pretty much a jazzed up corvette bracket. Went with this Holley bracket since they make the correct adapters to space it out to align with the truck crank pulley.

 

Maybe I missed it but what is the 3M stuff that you used on the frame? It does look good.
