Chevrolet C8 1940 Cab 11 restoration, The Netherlands

Bob,

Thanks for your comments. Especially the Hammond thread and Phil's thread are a great help for my project!

is there any evidence of the large hole flacked by two smaller screw/bolt holes on your frame....?

Come to think of it.....I think I might have seen one bigger hole and two smaller ones next to it on the rear crossmember.....hmm, will check tonight and post a picture.

Thanks for the comments on the primer. My frame was coated in a zinc phosfate primer, which was far better than the primer I used my self on the axle and smaller bits. I will certainly look into the suggestions you gave and yes....the best way is probably not to wait too long with the final coat after applying primer.....but somehow I just want to have the feeling that I have already stopped the rust before moving to the top coat.
