[QUOTE="mcutler, post: 612602, member: 1641"] [b]Re: Re: 90's throw back....Manche build[/b] Thanks guys. June, my original intent of this build is as a sleeper, wait...no..a resto-rock-rod, no its a door slammer..., no no no its a rock crawler,...hell no...it's a baby TT...., I know..I know...ultra 4 race car..., street legal weekend warrior.....hell no its a 4wd pre runner... Sorry, the voices in my head can't decide what it wants to be when it grows up...pretty much inspired by all of the above. But at this point, I don't intend to paint....anything. a good wet sanding and rubbing compound on the old patina looks great to me, less hair pulling when i wrap it around a rock... plus, I don't mind the resto roddish look. But the, tubing and chassis will not be painted either. Everything is getting scotch brite rub down, then a once over with a stainless wire cup wheel, and a product called Sharkhide, here's a link http://www.sharkhide.com/mpinfo.html. been talking to a couple racers and Desert folks, this is how they leave they're chassis bare. Mavcoat is another brand. You can weld through and they're both paint safe. I'm going to give that a try, if I see is too much trouble in up keep, the chassis will get painted. But the body probably won't change. I've already secured two more sets of doors, fenders, and hoods, from the same year model cherokee/ manche, with matching patina...now, the bedsides will be much more difficult to find. Matt [/QUOTE]
