Re-restoring the frame

This morning I began the restoration of my restoration.

No more nice coat of chassis black

The body of Old Yeller has sat on the frame since 1999. At that time, I had sandblasted, primed and painted the frame and suspension components with the intention that it was the last time I would do so. Therefore, I was a bit disappointed, as well as surprised, at how much corrosion had poked through over the past 15 years. Especially since the car has been in storage for the whole time.
Every surface that faced up has become rusty, in some cases quite a bit. It was an eye-opener as to the quality of my work at that time. I also think that my knowledge and skill set was severely lacking as well. Since then, the Internet has provided enough info to make anyone an expert on any topic. Products have changed as well. I don't think epoxy paints like POR-15 and Rust Seal (which I use) were available back then. Hopefully, my wealth of resources will help me do a better, more permanent job this time.
Today, then, I took the wire wheel to the frame and knocked off the paint and rusty spots down to clean metal. The beauty of these epoxy products is that they are virtually impervious to moisture, so if you clean the loose stuff off the metal you're working with and get a good coat of paint down, the result should be pretty solid.

Starting over

I've started from the back, since it's easier, and will work my way to the front. Once I get there, I'll install the new disc brake setup and then I can turn to the motor!
