21. Time for welding in the rear seat braces:



22. Grind down all spot welds and clean them up with a wire-wheel. You will probably find some spots that need more welding like I did, fix those spots as you find them. Pretty much everything should be welded now and should look nice and tight:




23. Seam sealing, one of the most important steps (least if you care about rust):



I used Eastwood's Seam sealer.

24. Prime and Paint, I used Eastwoods Extreme Chassis black and primer on the tubs:


You probably want to consider what you want to do for undercoating to protect them. I went with Lizardskin soundproofing formula and their ceramic heat insulation formula:

It dries a medium grey but really darkens over the course of about a week to dark grey.


I cleaned the entire undercarriage as well and painted it too (might as well make everything match). In person it looks pretty close to a factory finish. It isn't perfect by any means but my goal was a stock look and I think I succeeded. I may paint the underside with my leftover chassis black paint not sure, want to see how much it will darken (right now putting in rear suspension going to need to weld in the G-Bar frame anyways so more painting will happen after).

I hope others find this guide useful and informative. If you have any suggestions or corrections feel free to post them and I'll try and make updates.


A special thanks to my instructor at school. As well as Frank from Prodigy for setting me up with the Deep tubs, G-Bar and Moser 12 bolt.
