Next milestone was paint day. Once again i didn't have a rotisserie so I had too be innovative. So I hung the frame from my rafters. It worked out great. I used my 30gal compressor to spray paint and I used Eastwood rust encapsulator. I love this stuff worked perfect. I didn't want to use POR15 bc I heardyou can't spray that stuff. I also used Eastwood inside frame. My frame now doesn't have a inch of bare metal exposed anymore.

Looking good! When I first did my dad's bronco in the 90's it looked like what you have so keep up the good work!

Make sure you measure that frame (or at least I hope you did before painting) with all that rust, age and welding you want the body mounting pads where they belong. There are several posts on this site with dimensional drawings. You don't want to go hanging doors and fenders and find out something is not in the right place. Easy to fix now before hanging a bunch of parts on the frame.

Next step was rebuild the good old Ford 9". I tore it apart and rebuilt with all new bearings and seals. Also I did the same with my dana 30. I broke it down to the last screw. Let's just say front was 1000 times harder then the rear to rebuild. SO MANY SEALS AND BEARINGS. These two builds YouTube became very useful.

Second major paint day. I painted everything black encapsulator but decided to give some contrast to my axles. So I top coated them with aluminum color.

So I finally got the brakes completely finished and rebuilt. Thanks to this website I was able to piece together everything I needed. I bent and cut all my own lines. Everything is replaced 100% but kept stock. I'm very proud of this step. It was very cool learning how the whole brake system comes together. Little before and after at ther junction box to appreciate the difference
