...is this the right way:
1.) disassemble
2.) blast
3.) prep-solvent
4.) PPG DP90LF epoxy primer
5.) GM reconditioning semi-gloss black

Thanks

The DP90 is the black right? Don't forget to spend a couple hours blowin the sand out of everything!!! Sounds like yuor good to go.

Hey, hows that job search goin? I gotta dent in a quarter panel I'd like you to look at.

truth is there are many ways to do it. decide if you are going for original or not. if you are not interested in origionality, there are other good options, such ad getting it dipped, galvanized, sandblasted, por-15, powdercoated. i chose the longevity perspective. i had mine acid dipped and galvanized, then galvanizing primer, then latex satin black paint. it will out live my children if it does not get totaled in a wreck first, and it is protected up inside all the boxed areas which some of the other methods do not reach. it was inexpensive and little effort also. picks on my web site

Here was my order on the 66:

1-Sandblasted
2-Dupont Final clean prep
3-Self Etching primer
4-Sherwin Williams Machinery Black

If I did it adain, I would steam clean it before I would sand blast it. It saves on the sand and time. The other thing I did which worked good is I threw it on the open trailer and drove it around for a while. Got almost all the sand out of it.

I'm close to that stage myself and was wondering how you guys took care of the inside of the boxed sections of the frame. I was thinking of sandblasting and powder coating. That will take care of the outside, but what about the inside?
Tim

If you have the frame to the point where the suspension is back on it,trailer it to Ziebart.They have wands long enough to go down your frame rails and put undercoating in there. I have my own set-up and thats what I did..........Nasty ol rust aint comin back

John, did you have to wear full dress when spraying the self-etching primer? I'm spraying in my garage. Also for a tip on removing sand, I have a 205 mph leaf blower that'll do the job.

I did mine outside. And if I would have done it inside, then I would plan on a good filtered respirator. As for blowing out the frame, I suppose that a top fuel leaf blower would work. Actually, you would need to use a combo of good compressed air and that. You would not believe where that sand goes. Now is also a good time to take the grinder and smooth over any rough welds made at the factory.

HTH,
