Scored this off Marketplace by asking a guy listing other things but mentioned he had parts... $50! 1-1/8" competition off a 72. Sand blasting the best way to clean them up? And then chassis black paint or should it be powder coated preferably?   ------------- JiPS - East Tennessee 1976 Ford Elite 400 |

I'm in the midst of a front end rebuild and just cleaned & painted mine. I used a wire wheel on a drill to clean off the rust, then a couple coats of filler primer and finally satin black engine paint. It's not 'concourse' but looks good enough for my driver '69. I used a 'cast aluminum' paint for the clamps. ------------- Dave 1969 Torino GT/351W 2V/FMX/Vinyl Top/Black Jade/Gold Stripes/Nugget Gold Buckets/Console/Racing Mirrors/AC/PS/PDB |

I agree that Blast and paint is fine. Powdercoat might be a bit more durable, but it would also be more money. ------------- Vince 1972 Ford GTS Sportsroof - Survivor, One Family car GTS.org Admin |
