Yeah I wish I could sand blast / soda blast but I don't have the stuff. If I had a place to do it...
I will give it another look.. maybe I can move the truck somewhere and do it over a weekend.
So far my plans for frame cleaning are to
-I'll do the back 1/2 first - removing the bed.
-I'll use my angle grinder on all the visible surface rust and a bit beyond each area
- Use a rust dissolver like TNT anti-rust Gel and anti-rust spray.
- 2-3 layers Chassis Saver to create a hard shell around the frame / parts.. can be sprayed and brushed on.
- And then if I choose, a top coat for an added layer of protection
I don't think there is a faster way of doing it that will offer more protection.
I don't mind puting the work in if it's going to hold up for years vs. 1 season.
Lot's to do.. contacting paint shop this week to start fishing for quotes.
Still looking at lifts, tires & rims to boot. Can't even decide on 35's on 20's or 37's on 22's.
I am focusing on just getting the truck cleaned up and in good working form for the most part.
Still gotta fab that HD hood too..
Hard to stay focused...
