OK, OK... Here are some pictures of the process (I should have known better).
You can see that I painted the back half of the underside of the car, it is in quite good condition, probably due to being a California car originally. I also took the springs apart and cleaned and painted them then put in new bushings and friction pads. The wheels were powder coat painted by Les Schwab. I did the gas tank earlier (new tank, clear coat painted).
