the body will also get ecoated, just have to finish metal work. the ecoat is very tough, will most likely scuff and spray with satin black. ecoat is uv sensitive.

Fordguy I like your priorities! Bronco time seems to take a back seat during hunting season for me too

Making good progress. Keep the pics coming. I just noticed you were from vicksburg. I used to come to vicksburg every summer. I enjoy the round table restaurant. Great food.

i did not realize how much splatter and sloppy welds it had before dipping, but to late to worry about that stuff. it has ecoat primer (dipped so it is inside and out) and a good coat of industrial enamel, so i wont have to worry about the frame ever. strip, ecoat, and enamel cost me about 700 bucks total. not to bad.
