That was a lot of work to make it not look a whole lot different.

A little time in the garage today saw half of the front X brace chassis arms clean.

Applied a coat of rubberized underseal. The stuff goes on as smoothly as if it were flung from five feet away.
The can says it's black, but I think the official color name should be Turd.

Therefore, a coat of black went over the top. Looks good. Just the other side to do now, then that's the difficult to reach parts done. Steering box needs flushed out and greasing, new gasket and reassembly. Inner wings need paint, suspension cradle and then the engine bay is done.

My neighbor Ken welded the horns to the brackets this afternoon. Painted and tested, all good. I'll be able to bolt them on once they're dry.
