No, I'm using oldtimer recipe for "wax-oil". This frame is going to end up galvanized at some point anyway... POR-15 is great I recommend it. |

Do explain? Is the wax identical to the factory wax on the frame? did you get down to bare metal before you applied it? How is it made? Also how much, not including time spent removing everything from the frame would it cost to have the frame galvanized? Would it be dipped in zinc... or..... Curious minds wonder. |

No way, this recipe is before everything had to be environmentally friendly and safe for consumption in case your kids decide to lick the frame. Power wash area. Tar, axle grease, USED diesel engine oil.... Mix all, boil, put the fire out, apply hot. (Keep out of reach of children) :) |

They do architectural finish and acid dip. Got to clean the paint before. If we get over 500lbs it works out to be about 50 cents per pound and the closer to 4000lbs we get the deeper the discount gets. |

Hmm.. I don't think that's something to cook on the stove... haha But cool to know... The galvanizing is so cheap, that's pretty cool. |

Final front end colors, still got to repaint, the finish isn't good but that's what it's going to look like.

Re: H2 160K Overhaul
Did you remove the letter out of the grille prior to painting? Are you going to put them back on?

What happened to this video? I'm having issues with my instrument cluster, windows, air suspension button, seat heater buttons and a couple of other things and trying to find a common denominator. Ideas? |
