Painted the chassis
#1

I was bored last weekend and decided to paint the frame. Took a bit of masking and reaching around things but overall, it came out quite nice. I still have the driveshaft to do along with drums and other minor bits. This will help with cleanup when washing. Aside from that, I hated looking at brown rust spots. I do enjoy tinkering with this thing. It was nice to take it out today to the Detroit dealer. This just sails so comfortably along.

Looks amazing, but you must have way too much time on your hands!! I cannot even get to my list of major to do items let alone the niceties of cleaning and painting stuff. Really want to clean up my engine bay but its been pushed way down the list. I did it on my Wanderlodge but unfortunately a few trips in the rain and it looks like I almost never did anything.. well maybe not that bad.. but not as good as when I did it and cleaning it just does not make is shine like it first did.

Here are some photos

Well, business was slow and this is the result.   Undecided

And of course the front section was done too over the winter.

I guess that is good or bad thing that business is slow. That’s my problem now work is crazy, I can barely keep up.

That guy almost looks like our beloved Richard. I've seen him that dirty!
