Thanks again for sharing your build with us. A lot of what you are doing I would like to do to mine.

Tyler,
I used my 4 1/2 grinder with a wire brush on everything under the car...Also had to use a putty knife along with a hand wire brush. I also used some parts cleaner to apply where some of the grease and oil had been for THAT many years. Other than that, I used Rustoleum Semi Gloss Black on the chassis, underside, frame, and firewall. I did also use Rustoleum Matte Clear Sealer to assist with protection. This was the procedure I used on my 1968 Camaro last winter and it is holding up very nicely.
As for the grey, I used Rustoleum Smoke Grey Gloss and them sealed with the Matte Clear.
I don't have provisions to use spray gun...all of mine are done with "Rattle Cans"...
