And it begins- 98' build up - 5280nrg

Here is the pick of the CAT.. Not much to look at, but you can also see in the pick that I started on the frame, sanding, rust converting and spraying with a flat black. I will work on it thru the winter as there is A LOT of rust; more surface than anything, with a few bad areas like the rear axle housing.

I also pulled off the skid plates, degreased, wire wheeled, sprayed metal etching primer, then coated it with Por15 (I have a quart left over from the last Mustang I rebuilt)

One of the things I have not done and know I need to do is to have the transmission flushed. I know that I need to do it soon as when I just pulled it out today to take pictures, I thought I would inspect the "cold level" of the fluid. I have enough fluid, but holy cow it is very brown!!! Since I have the day off from projects, I think I will bite the bullet and get it done today. After all I have had to shell out the past two months, I don't need a trans rebuild on the books as well.
