Thanks guys.

Not sure what I'm going to do with the vette suspension parts yet. I thought I was going to polish and bright anodize them but I can't find anyone in Colorado who does bright dip. I'm not even sure it's necessary if the parts are polished to a mirror finish.

Then I got to thinking that polished aluminum wheels are often clear-coated so maybe that would work. I'm not sure if it's just clear urethane or powder coat. I heard the powder coat yellows over time, and it's nearly impossible to remove. Seems like a good clear urethane over polished aluminum might work. I sure don't want to be polishing aluminum all the time, and I don't want to pay $$$thousands to chrome them.

Here's a couple more pics after I got the frame home. We got caught in rain and hail on the way here, but it looks like it survived just fine. It looks a lot nicer in the sun than it does indoors, but it looks good indoors too. Also a pic of the radiator support and transmission crossmember.

Paint looks good! I didn't see you mention the paint color. It looks like Atomic Orange to me. Is it, or another color?

[chevynut]

It's "another color" . A lot of these oranges are similar with subtle differences. It actually looks different in person than in the pics.

I really like your frame. I can't imagine how well it will look assembled. I will definitely be watching.

Congrats! Looks very nice. Once the whole chassis is assembled it will be sweet looking.

I'm not certain you will ever get the compound off the aluminum for paint. I know they're forged but AL is still porous but maybe not bad enough to hold the compound. I'd lean toward bright powdercoat.
