Default 12-31-08 Subframe

Well today I got some work done on the frame. I had already assembled and painted the frame once before and it looked good, but I didn't like the gloss black and I found a hairline crack in the frame.

I blasted it back down, rewelded all the seams and then smoothed it out. I shot a coat of etch primer today and then sprayed some gray primer this evening.

I should have done some close up shots, but this is where I am at. I decided to tape off arms and leave them installed so I didn't beat up the frame re-installing them.

More updates soon...it has been awhile since I have added anything! I am going to start fabbing up some homemade subframe connectors based off of the Hotchkis ones and hopefully get those installed along with the frame. I am trying to get all my ducks in a row before starting to paint the body.
