I know you said you used krylon on the wheel wells, but what did you use on the frame, I want to paint my front fender wells, but then it's gonna make my frame and rears look like crap.

Edit, did you paint anywhere else, inside? Front crossmember? rear crossmembers by the hitch?

I did not paint inside the frame. I would like to before I put the lift on. I will just paint over the rust on the inside, there is no way I am getting that cleaned up. I painted the frame and the crossmembers with the krylon dual as well. The hitch I took off and had powder-coated.
 
Boss informed me today I have 34 days to get the truck done and out of the garage, because his race car will be coming back. :fp: Do work
 
I just wish i had a shop at my house hopefully this summer i can start on getting one up where my barn is currently at.

The truck is in the shop where I work. Late nights and weekends aren't an option.

Why not? That is the only time we could use the shop at the dealer I used to work for or is your boss letting you work on it during hours because that would be pretty damn cool.
 
Shop is closed at night and after noon on Saturday. I am working on it right this minute off the clock, because we are super slow, but I have been working on it up til today on the clock little by little.

Plz go, SAS kit would have been easier. I probably wouldn't of PC'd anything and could have had that done much sooner.

Fixed.

Talked to my PC guy today. He rushed everything over to the media blaster place today, got everything blasted, he wife picked up all the parts and he is shooting to have everything back to me in 2 weeks.

I can see it taking about week... Another PC place I called said if he were to do the whole lift and all of my suspension parts, there would be about a 2.5 week turn-around. The guy that is doing my stuff does this by himself out of his garage and he has another full-time job, that he puts 40-65 hours a week in.
