wish my LC frame looked like that.
How much is the blasting and spraying?
I'm guessing you have a regular arrangement with someone?

Re: RD250F Basket Case
So I got my bolts and fittings back from the zinc plating today, now I can start to piece the frame back together after I paint up some of the smaller fittings.

What did it cost to get that lot zinc'd up, if you don't mind me asking?

TSM is a one man operation and unfortunately he had a heart turn and fell into his acid dipping tank.
