Captainkirk's Duster project

I already know the answer to that. (Perfection!) I've managed to talk myself out of pulling the fender tonight, because with the suspension and K-frame removed as it is, I can duck my head under and still get to everything fairly easily. That doesn't mean I'll not cave in tomorrow; just that I left it be for tonight!:-D
More progress again tonight (not a lot, but again, that doesn't matter!) I dragged my K-frame out from under the car and set it up in the driveway to pressure wash. About halfway though, the hose on my pressure washer ruptured...so much for that idea. So, I pressed on with touch-up of the engine bay and inner fenders with the rust converter. Any progress is great progress these days!
I'm debating whether to powder coat my K-frame or just paint the damn thing. Powder would be great, but expensive. And paint would probably work just as well, and be easier to touch up when I scratch it putting the engine back in. Your thoughts?
Gosh I know what you mean . . . I am a perfectionst also. I struggle mentally trying to figure how far I want to take my car. I don't want to be working on it for the next 10 years, cuz I'll be 70! I need to find a happy medium between the updating, my conscience (checkbeck!), get her looking and driving good enuff to enjoy her.
I've heard good things about powder coat, and would think the K frame would have to fend off more road monsters than the rest of the car. But right, the bucks!! Money prolongs the finished project, in my case I would paint becasuse I'm older than you. I'm sure my boy (35) would want it powder coated as would any interested inheritee!! Through almost forty years of wear and tear, if it held up well, I'd paint it. Rog
