The Chassis has been neglected in Trevor's garage for a while and has accumulated a little bit of "surface rust" so it's time to strip, clean and paint it.  We began by removing all the sheet metal, suspension parts and various bolt-on brackets.  That was followed by a thorough degreasing and rust removal in preparation for paint.  Knowing how quickly bare steel frames rust in use, we chose to paint the chassis and "Steel It" paint was used for a number of reasons.

Chassis painted and looking good; ready for assembly to begin
We know that there will be additional welding to be done for brackets to come later and that we'll have to remove paint in some areas to accommodate that.  We're okay with that, we just wanted to protect the chassis as much as possible during construction.....

We used "Steel It" for a number of reasons - it's tough, easy to apply, weldable and easy to touch up
