So frame is at KrashFab in Valley Springs, Ca. Having a master welder firm up and do a professional job on all my booger welds. Caspy had to basically grind off my booger’s and redo everything.
So decided to prep all of the hardware for the frame. Rust proofing the hardware to avoid issues. Also did not want any of the silver looking hardware. It will have a matte black finish when done.
Tumbler with resin compound to remove all the rust.
Rust removed 8 hour run time.
Into the sand blast booth.
Gun blueing compound. Not pictured also. Soaked and rinsed bolts in muriatic acid to strip any unseen coatings after blasting. Then rinsed and acetone washed.
This is finished Gun blue black. It is soaked in old motor oil that will set the coloring and on a microscopic level, protect the finish. The reaction of the metal is almost instantaneous. I will be doing this to almost every fastener on this rig.
Here is the frame.. you can go back and look at my booger welds in older post’s. I am mechanic , retired detective and Marine. Not a welder.
