Default Our Frame is back from the bead blasters (Pics)

Well for those of you that have been following our frame repair project, you'll remenber some of these pics. We pushed forward and finially got it sent out to the blasters. I dropped it off one day, and picked it up the next. Service was good and the boys at M&M offshore did a great job. The price was more than reasonable. $131.00 cdn, taxes in.

Anyway, a few pics.


All the parts were included in the price.













And thanks for the continued support.

That was a good price for all the parts he blasted clean. There is nothing better than rebuilding with cleaned and painted parts. It looks like you have a great start; keep the progress pics coming!

Default Thanks Guys

Thanks guys, we really appreciate the encouragement. The frame was a hard haul, it's great to look forward to the re assembly now. My son has the frame and all the parts painted since I left this trip. Things should be good to go when I get home on the 13th August.
Thanks again
