I have a quick question about the frame coating process. Do you have to sandblast the surface rust then prep with Metal Ready before it can be coated with POR-15? I was under the impression that you could paint the surface rust with POR-15 without prep so correct me if I'm wrong.

Oh yea, the frame and engine look awesome!!! I'm sure it will look even better once that painted body is put back on. Great work!

Go to http://photobucket.com start an account (free) and upload your pictures to there. Once you've done that, copy the Img line (that appears under the picture you just uploaded) and paste it into your post. The Img line will look something like this
[IMG]http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v107/billio/loom2.jpg[/IMG ]

Once you submit your post, your picture will appear instead of the [IMG]http://etc....

Wow man, that is spectacular.


Since that gorgeous red makes it so prominent I'm going to ask a noob question... what the heck is up with that lopsided fan??? I took mine off a couple of weeks ago and thought I lost a blade or two!
