took the rearend out and scuffed the bottom side up and sprayed it with Rustoleum semi-gloss black. For spray paint this stuff is super durable!! I hit a spot after it was dryed with a wire wheel on a angle grinder and all it did was scuff it up so im happy with it. Plus there was really no rust, just wanted to coat it to help prevent it and make it color matching. Now i can get my Speed Inc. gas tank in nd put the rearend/suspension back in and call it a day.......

Hey, that paint sounds pretty good. Was it their regular paint or their special undercoating stuff?
Spray can or brush?

heres some crappy pics that dont do it justice but its something. Got the rear of the car pretty much done. Got the rearend all back in and the Speed Inc. gas tank and cut off the bump stops and a large area all around it, lol. Then started with the interior. Its all pretty dusty but at least its almost pretty much in...

did some more more work this weekend. Put the front end back on for mock-up purpose so i know what im working with when the turbo kit gets here and to make it a car again! Cut out the front clip so i get max air flow to the intercooler and to make it look like a catfish As you can see theres nothing in front of the core support so i can get anything i want in there, lol. The one pic you can get a idea of the MWC th350 aluminum crossmember installed and a clean look at the rear set-up. Just thought it was kinda a cool pic...
