Back after a long delay

Ok back after a long delay. Was busy putting a basement under my house. However I tore apart my 60 F100 4x4 totally apart and now putting it back slowly. Frames been sand blasted and back together etc.

Yeah! Partly it’s was everywhere! I need it at least in one pile so if I need my shop I can use it. Trying to get the firewall and dash situated so I can slide the engine and tranny in it.

Thanks. It could be a decent shop if I don’t have so much crap crammed in it. I can’t throw stuff away. It’s a problem!

Me too but that's all part of our addiction. Shortly after I get rid of something I need it and if I don't get rid of it I'll never need it.

Looks great! Awesome work!

I know what colors those are and the paint codes, my question is:

What paint brand and product did you use?

Thanks,
Preston

Thanks! I use PPG single stage Omni. It’s PPG’s mid range product. The frame and such is ppg DP90lf epoxy primer that last coat or two I add some Omni single stage black to and gives it a tad of semigloss. Even though this is midrange it’s still spendy.

Looking more closely at your pics, I sure can't see anything I would throw away. You just need more space as we all do!
