This is great, I'm so glad I found this site and so many knowledgeable, helpful people! I've learned so much in such a short time! I think I'm going to take the advice of about everyone who posted and keep it simple. Pressure wash, de-grease, scrape and sand, and Ospho as needed, spray the body with paint, and chassis paint or RP-342 for the frame and members, etc. And fluid film for upkeep. I thought the weather was starting to break since it's sitting outside as it was 78 degrees on Friday so had a chance to do some tinkering and prep yesterday, but then we got 2-3 inches of snow this morning and it's 30 degrees again, so oh well! Guess I've got to wait a bit more! Thank you so much for the advice and examples, I know I'll be back with more questions and I'll post as it goes along!
