preping frame

ok i started this a few years ago and then put it on hold but after seeing what projects some of you guys are doing i've been motivated to get going on mine again. it's the frame from my 78 f-250 snowfighter. stripping the frame then prepping is to be spayed with chassis saver.

i have a friend who used por 15 at work on some of their yard trucks and weren't happy at all with it. my brother in law has a friend who uses the chassis saver on all their tractor trailers and are very pleased. i guess it all comes down to preference.
