[QUOTE="biglou, post: 694650"] jmics made me think of a few other things we did... When I said most of the work is elbow grease, that also means the preperation work. If you're going to have the frame powder coated or painted, take the time to sandblast it completely bare. You could probably rent one for a day and blast all your steel parts. Putting the bolts back into the shock, suspension components, etc. is a good way to keep track of them and their correct order. On rebuild, I like jmics' pattern. Also, place a thin towel over the top part of the bottom frame rails to protect them from scratching while you stab the engine mount bolts. Best to get a buddy to help with that. Really, the possibilities are almost limitless. Stripping, painting and polishing about all you care to. If I get a chance, I'll post the progress pics of the Hurricane we built. Keep in mind, though, that I have access to powder coating and polishing facilities at work. So, we got a lot of work done for free... ;) [/QUOTE]
