Been a bit since I posted an update. I picked up 2 qts of POR15 last weekend. I finished stripping down the chassis of every piece that is bolted on. Today I dropped off the chassis off at Carolina Refinishing to be blasted. The fella told me it should be ready Friday afternoon. If all goes well I hope to get a coat or two of paint on it this weekend.
I also ran into a problem with my oil pan that I bought for the engine. Seems it is off of an '80 or newer 400 from either a van or 4x4. Which means that my pick up I salvaged out of my old 351M is not long enough to let the pan sit right. I had to order a new pick up and it should be at the parts store today.
