    Oh.....

    I'd rather see it on a new galvanized chassis, instead of the original sand-blasted then half-replaced.

    Even if doing a restoration, I would say, get the galvanized chassis, then paint over it so it looks like the original black, if you choose. If going through so much labor, you should add longevity, IMHO.

      can't help some folks

      Hate to see high dollar rebuilds with white wagon wheels and radials!

        Radials don't bother me..... if it's in the spirit of the original. But I agree, I'm not fond of wagon wheels. (Of course, some don't like my Disco steelies, either).

          But, I've never claimed mine as a restoration, either....

          (galvanized bulkhead and other bits, parabolics, Delco 10si, Weber carb, SIIa tub on a SIII, etc.)

            I agree- I had my galvanized chassis painted this time and it looks great. On a former restoration I masked off the chassis and painted the rear cross member and left the rest bare galvanized. It always bugged me!
