1979 Ford F-350 Crew Cab Long Bed

Here are some pices from the past Monday 7/14/14.

A bunch of fron suspension pieces were sand blasted. Just as I was getting ready to spray primer a few rain drops fell from the sky. Which wasn’t that big of a problem. It was late in the day and going to get dark before I’d even finish the first coat of primer. We moved everything inside the shop. Luckily there was an open lift that I could put some racks across to hang everything. For some reason the pictures make it seem like there weren’t that many parts. But, it took a while spraying all of these parts.

These are the sand blasted parts hanging in the shop. Note the row of fans to pull the overspray out.

This with the self etch primer:

There were two coats of epoxy primer:

Then finally two coats of black single stage urethane.

By the time the 2nd coat of paint was done and everything was cleaned up it was after 2am on a Monday night. Ug, work at 7:45am.

Sometime soon I will get the front suspension put back on the frame. The intent is to get the front and rear suspension on the frame so it can be rolled around. Then add the drive train and body parts as they come together.
