They look like they should clean up very well. I'm also thinking about doing a bit of custom paint to the seat backs as well....something very mild like a flat\clear graphic.
I think you should paint them to match your car :)

I honestly cannot wait to see this one finished. crazy amounts of work, everything done right, it is going to look amazing!

Nope, I still want yours for an office chair. That way I can write my sermons in style. 8)

I have new bearings and hubs to put in. My next big challenge is to finish fabbing my brake kit to the hub/spindle assembly. It looks like I will actually have to have my hubs, hat, and caliper mounts milled in order to get the brake kit on correctly.

I'm definitely with Mike on that... I need to find a place to do some blasting, a cabinet is one of those tools I'd love to have, but wouldn't use enough to justify the cost of :( That and powdercoating, I can't even imagine the convenience of having it available whenever I need it. :welder:

I'll keep checking back, I love this build, and the orange has really grown on me. It's not one of my favorite colors, but the more I see it, the more I like it.

That's just a rattle can primer so that the parts would not flash rust.

I will be putting a tougher one stage paint on them. Flat paint does not clean up very well or protect on suspension parts. :shrug:
