Nice work, you por-15ing the frame??

i plan to either POR it or use the Eastwood equivalent. believe it or not my frame has very little rust at all. the only part that has any significant rust are the rear upper shock mounts. even the shackle hangers and shackles are all in good shape.

tom i have no idea...its going to be more a little here and a little there.

ill try and snap a final pic of it sometime today. my next step is to clean my garage and get my grey f150 road ready and legal so i have a truck to drive in the mean time.
