Hi Keith
-just a thought for ya: when I built BW, I chose 'battleship gray' for
chassis color.....
why ?
1) easy to wipe clean ( it shows you how well you did with a glance )
2) It hides grime and dust better than black.
3) When wiping clean, its easier to spot any cracks -both the cracks
themselves -and also to spot the rust line that will undoubtedly be there as
well. Black color can sometimes hide the things you want to see...
I am totally happy with the Sikkens 2 part epoxy paint over zinc chromate
primer thats been on BW now for over 8 years and 30,000 smiles!
hope these comments help m' friend..........
Cheers,.. & signin' off, -it's your pal,"Dirt Track Doug"

Spent the entire day yesterday stripping the car of all it's mechanical
parts... got just about everything except the rear suspension... so this
morning I'm off to finish that and take the belly pan off... ( it's made
out
of 1/8th inch plate ) The pan hasn't been off since the car was built so
this
oughta be a hoot...
My intent is to take the chassis outside and sand blast it... Ron had
powder
coated it and I'm just not a fan of the power coating because it's so thick
that it looks like it could hide cracks, Don't know if that's a true
statement it's just the way it looks to me and I want to start from the
ground
up with the car this year...figure I'll go back with a quality coat of
Rustoleum Gloss Black
Just thought I'd give a quick update to what I'm up to ... what are you
folks
doing?
Keith ( morning Dave... Dan.... )
