Happy Camper you ask? Well, yes. I am uber-excited about finally getting the topcoat of paint on my chassis/pan. Tonight I knocked off all the dust from the summer dust storms on my pan, and began painting. I got one can of the chassis coat from master series, and poured some into a seperate can (as per the directions, to reduce spoilage)…

Ok, so my daughter and I started painting away on all the front and rear end parts that I had disassembled and coated with the MS rust preventer…

I noticed this paint was quite a bit thinner than the rust preventer, thus I had quite a bit left over. I decided to go ahead and paint the pan…

It was HOT outside today too. I was soaked in sweat just from standing there painting!

This stuff is pretty cool. Once it dried (took a few hours), it was glossy shiny! Not to mention it feels like plastic to the touch. I will probably do a second coat on the bottom here to help preserve the pan.

Once I get the bottom done, it’s time to flip again!

Getting close to reassembly. BTW I did purchase a new master cylinder, brake lines, and link pins. I had the king pins checked and they are nice and tight… So now you know why I am a happy camper. It looks nice, reassembly is near, and I know it will be well worth the effort!

Until next time! Der VolksGeck
