Hey man not trying to be nosey but i was wondering on a ballpark figure of getting the frame and axles powdercoated if you do not mind me asking, i just graduated college and ive got my eye on a super straight 73 uncut full cab i can buy really reasonable and we have a shop my dad is an excellent mechanic in his spare time plus hes a ford man die hard and my father-in-law is one of the top body men in my town so i have some great resources to get it done right and probably for a much better deal than some would have to spend plus he restores a car every year or two and told me hed help me do whatever i wanted body wise if i turn the wrenches and my dads agreed to do the same mechanical wise and we have a 3000 sq ft shop with a frame and drive on lift so i think that gives me a great advantage i was really wanting to do a half cab or convert this full cab just because its already a strong runner with minimal rust and not a dent for 3500 dollars which im told is a steal for a damn near perfect eb to start my build with plus it has a nice 5k warn winch and has just been used for hunting the last 15 years and even though its only got about 10k miles on the motor i plan on building a 400hp beast but any insight you guys could give me shoot because im only 30 this will be my first build and my dad has a mach 1 restored from high school and they are willing to help hes just a mustang man and has an 01 lightning with 4k miles that is like brand new im just wanting to go in a different direction so any words of wisdom from you guys would be greatly appreciated. Thanks again guys.
