Chassis stripped for rolly, rolly, rolly to find all the bits that need final welding.

Great job Rich. Are you having it powder coated or painting it?

Been doing welding and checking of the chassis, now time to paint the garage floor to try to get a dust free paint job

Have you bought a giant roll of visqueen Rich? Looks like you are preparing a murder scene to the casual passer by while you are "preparing" the garage.

Good hunting.

What are you painting it with?

Depending on the outcome I want to paint the car as well, but in car paint before some smart bum asks, will be my first time using a proper spray gun.
