Frame Prep and Paint Time

Sept. 2010
It's late September, and that means cold weather is on the way. Since the Man Cave is not insulated  and has just a basic forced air propane heater, I need to get my newly cleaned parts prepped and coated with the POR-15 like now !

 After two coats.
Some of the smaller parts:

Eastwood makes a product that you can spray into the hidden channels of the frame, thus stopping rust from the inside out....too bad the Triumph factory didn't have some of these products available back in the day.  The joke amoung British car collectors is that these cars started rusting on the ship while being transported to the USA. !
Since this is my first rodeo as a car restorer, I'm learning the hard way about the sequence of doing things. (see the overspray above)
