Ripped the Band Aid off! Build Thread and Advice Sought.

[PH4]

The steering relay wins again today. Not for all we threw at it would it budge an inch. What a PITA! We did get the two front spring bushings out.

Sounds like a good time for a power steering conversion!

[PH4]

Any suggestions for what type black paint to use on the axles, diffs, prop shaft etc? I would prefer to brush on instead of spray. Should I wire wheel them first or just paint over what is already there? Best regards,

[albersj51]

I would wire wheel them clean first, otherwise any rust will spread under the paint. A lot of people use Eastwood Chassis black for their axles and such, which looks awesome! However, I went with spray on rustoleum "professional".
