[Chevelle-list] Best primer - frame/ suspension parts

[Ron Griffith]

Karl,

I don't know where you're at, but I had a company in Marshall Texas
sandblast and powder coat my '71 Elky frame a couple of years ago.  They did
it for $225.00 complete.  A few months ago I took them the frame from the
'67 convertible I'm doing and they had increased their prices...  $275.00 to
sandblast and powder coat a frame now.  They did a great job both times.  In
the case of the convertible, I ended up taking the body to them for
sandblasting as well.  They charged $640.00 for everything, frame, body and
all.  If anyone is close enough and wants their contact info just email me.
