I need to make up some backets and weld to them to the chassis to to install the sierra rear beam. So may be ill have it powdercoat much later on and
when i have the dosh. Many thanks anyway. Is hammerite an option and then wax?

Chassis black ladled on with a big brush over a coat of red oxide. Keep it simple and durable.
yours, Pete
I went into the RSPCA office the other day. It was so small you could hardly swing a cat in there.

Sounds like a plan. Thanks. Is chassis black a proper paint?

Chassis black is a generic name for well chassis paint (not hepfull! but paint supplier will point you in the correct direction).
You will still want to blast the chassis for best results..

^^ I'd love a complete head for an NA cossie build - but I also need a new boiler and bathroom so I think that'll have to wait 
oh and I should have added this stuff to the above http://www.frost.co.uk/por15-prep-ready-946ml.html
it work really well on the small bits I've done (left them soaking in it for a few hours after blasting) - might be a bit trickier to use on a
whole chassis though.....

Epoxy mastic 121 onto blasted metal is the best stuff i've ever seen. I used rollers and the finish was great on blasted metal (i brushed some
of it and it was okay but nowhere near good as rollered)

if you intend to grind and weld on it i would stick with a good coat of red oxide until its 100% finished then por15 or chassis black after its
totaaly finished.

Well my man, ive got just the very thing you need. I have a bare head, measures about 138.2 which is ideal of a N/A although your need to find a set
of journals for it (i do have them although i cannot find them). Ive also 2 or 3 YBB blocks, alloy sump, crank rods & pistons if your interested.

I'll keep you in mind for when the funds allow for the next upgrade
I've got everything apart from the head bits (i.e. head, valves, cams, pulleys, top cover etc....) - but I guess I should get it on the road
first and upgrade it later :lol:
