Paint! Broke out my old Sharpe guns, blew an inch or two of dust off them and went to town in my hi tech spray booth. Couple of saggers here and there on the tubes, used rustoleum clean metal primer and an old can of Sunrise red .... none left on the store shelves east of the Mississippi for some reason .... it was a little congealed and didn't cut down well, stayed tacky all night til i overshot it with some clear enamel.

primary tubing color is my own custom blend of rustoleum hammertone grey and some black to get it to a dark argent-- pretty close to the pontiac Rally wheel color i was after .... Have a bit of welding to do on the subframe -- a version of ckau's axle mod may be coming using the old 3203 hangers and bearings.

Time to start hanging parts ...
