77 LUBR Build in SC, Part 2

[Crawdad]

It's going S L O W.

Picked up a vintage Koenig bumper this past weekend from Nick up in Denver NC. Also picked up some transfer case frame mounts as well.

[Crawdad]

Taking the next step in my build by dropping off my frame to the powder coater tomorrow afternoon. Going with a UV protected semigloss black. I can't wait to get this going again!

Does your rig spend a lot of time upside down exposed to the sun? Ha!

[Crawdad]

Well I hope the frame doesn't sit too long in my backyard once I get it back. It's close to xmas and I'm running out of Per Diem! I'm ready to post some real build pics!

[chuzie]

Well im certain you took advantage of SDP while downrange and maxed it out with $10k so you can siphon the guaranteed 13% interest rate as quarterly income for the project, right?

[Crawdad]

Put about $2k in my TSP. Won't see it for another 20 yrs. will probably pay for one semester of college for one of my kids.

And here are the before pics. Spent Sunday grinding and sanding down the frame. The galvanize process leaves some drip marks and other various deformities. But a 4" grinder with sanding pad, and a Dotco with 1" 120 grit sanding pad worked wonders.

And the comments about the John Deere green Chuzie wants to ask, that's where the VIN stamp is. I want the coater to lightly blast this area so that I can read it in the end. Crossing my fingers!

No idea what the SDP is but is it a guaranteed 13%? That is awesome if so. I'd be maxing that thing out!

[chuzie]

It is only offered to military in combat zones and it will only compound up to 10k so u have to skim the quarterly return into a different interest bearing account if you really want it to continue to grow. Otherwise, its a nice check to blow on the bronco.
