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

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.

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