I don't know the correct thickness but I called another powder coating guy he said if to thick you will have problems with peeling and chipping. In our case I think it's prep. We are going to take the exhaust over to him and see what the cost to have pipes redone. I'll fine out how many mils. And the exact procedure.

It sounds like the p/c had way to much build up. Also to in our case I think a lot depends on the prep ( cleanliness) prior to p/c. I just don't think they prep the exhaust properly because the film thickness is minimal. I don't know the exact procedure in p/c whether the metal has to etched like for paint or not. Can anybody way in on this.

I've seen lots of powder coating done by different places just not impressed with the final result. We just had the exhaust ceramic coated ( same process) and it's all ready got some chips on them,don't know from who they were delivered to us that way.

I am just going to do the frame and components in base/clear. And yes it is a 9" Ford rear end.

Just an update. Made a molding to extend the door belt molding at the front of the door on to the cowl, it just did'nt look finished originally. Also got the exhaust tips made. We sent everything out to the chroming shop, they said should be done end of March. And been working on the frame. Sould be painted early this coming week.(Feb. 1.)

Just some photos of roof chop. I've seen the belt line chrome that extends around the trunk lid on a 50' convertible. (which I think would work on our trunk lid). I had discussed it with the owner quite early on in the build but we figured it would be a very hard thing to find. But hey if anybody might know where we could fine some I'd love to have it.

The taillamps are hand made and will be chrome plated with LED lights, and sequential turn signals. The belt line will be the original one. The one on the trunk lid on the before photos is what it will be.
