Picked up my truck about a year ago, and been rebuilding her. Found this place and wanted to join the community!

Uploaded a couple pics here. The First one is when i got her home the first time.

Second photo is up to date. Currently have a rolling chassis.

Shiny! What did you use to paint the frame? A lot of people use rubberized undercoating or bedliner, but that looks way nicer.

I Sand Blasted and brushed on Por15 Rust Preventive Coating. Went on thin and setup thick. If you get the paint on you NOTHING takes it off.

Nice progress. 1987 GMC Jimmy Eastwood also makes a similar product. I used that on a 64 Cutlass I had.
