Welp they had it finished today!! Even though it took a few days extra I think they did a really awesome job! They ended up blasting it and spraying the epoxy for $150 cash, which is a really good deal if ya ask me. I got it home on jack stands, scuffed the epoxy with a red scotchbrite made sure to get all the sand out from inside the frame rails and then took a tack cloth to it. Then got the Eastwood Extreme Chassis Black primer sprayed on it, which I'm not sure I really needed to do, but I didn't figure it wouldn't hurt anything to have another coat of paint on it. Tomorrow evening I'll get the top coat on it after work.

Got the topcoat on the frame tonight and got the rear end all cleaned up, primed and painted. With what I started out with I'm really happy with how it turned out.

We've shutdown the plant I work at till the end of May to fix, repair, and replace a whole bunch of things so I don't figure much work will get done on the car since I'll be working 16 hour days for the next three weeks, then 12's after that till we start back up.
I had a very busy weekend getting things done around the house but didn't get a whole lot done with the car. Sunday evening I was able to get the the axle under the car and the A-arms, shocks, brakes, rotors, and tires. Here's what I got done last night. ![]() ![]()

After checking some things out. I think I'm going to just keep the 10 bolt and use the money I would spend on a 12 bolt and upgrade the 10 bolt later on down the road. I'll probably put a eaton posi unit in it with 3.55 gears and c-clip eliminator kit and a nice support cover to finish it off.

Well I didn't get the car finished in time for the wedding, which was a long shot considering the time frame I had and the amount of work that had to be done. But the wedding did turned out great and we were able to use my uncles truck. As soon as I get back I'm going to get back to work on the car because we both would like to be able to drive it and do a couple small cruise-in's by the end of the summer. Here's a couple of pictures from the wedding and my uncles truck.
