Need advice. Remove K frame?

Thanks everyone for the input. I thought of powder coat but the only place that offers it locally did the entire chassis on my 56 Chevy and lets just say. It’s an ok job. My progress so far. The engine compartment paint is a shade slightly off to the exterior of the car. But looks way better than the Dollar General spray can and deteriorated factory paint that was present before I got started. Thanks again. Eric
