Some good pics. Where did you get blue paint from. Is it better than some of the other herculiner type products? I'm almost afraid to pull mine apart but can't fix it if I don't know.

Not a Herculiner type product. Just Tractor paint (Ford Safety blue)with a rust inhibitor. I've been using this paint for years on trailers and stuff and once it cures out it performs wonderfully. I even painted my other ragtop with it. When you add the hardner it buffs out quite well

Got Axles under the frame.
Needed to get some spring perches mounted
Now I'll get the brake lines in at least to the portioning valve, then fuel lines.

Pulled the drive train from the Rat Ride, Hit it with the pressure washer and installed it in the rebuild.
Ran out of grade 8's to install the skid plate, and needed to get some new nuts for the Transmission mount, so off to the hardware store in the morning

Sunbathing
A beautiful sunny spring(almost) day here in Michigan yesterday, so I took the opportunity to do one last pressure wash of the rolling chassis. Ran a whole tank of gas through the honda.
Yes that's 3 different pressure washers in the background, Mine blew the spray nozzle off, my dad's was a POS, borrowed my bro's gas powered toro 2500 psi, nice!!!
Today I'll finish the fuel lines install and start on the tub wrap up and install
