A few more updates, truck should be done in a few weeks. I took all the rear parts to get powdercoated, I went with a clear Powdercoat so you could still see all the welds and weld colors.
Mostly all the suspension will be in clear powder coat with some things in flat bronze to match my rims, the Coilover springs will be in the same bronze as my rims.

I've heard mixed reviews on clear powder coat but with works of art like that it would be terrible if it was covered up with color.

Thanks guys, yea I have also heard mixed reviews about the clear Powdercoat but these guys powdercoated a bunch of parts and they are still holding up with no rust after 3 years.
First they clean the parts and bake them to remove any oils, then they spray the clear powder and bake the parts again. We will see how it holds up once I start beating on the truck lol

Went to the shop yesterday, they are finishing up mocking the front and measuring where the top arm needs to go.
