    Bought this off ebay from a dealer for Direct Sheet metal and pic was right one but part # was wrong . Called direct sheet metal to ask about it , They said its the wrong part # and would fix for me free of charge . He also said his dealers have a common pic up not showing the real parts to part # .

    His businessmen concept for helping was too good , So i ordered the next 2 pieces to help me out . I have no brake to bend any metal I could buy .

    woo hoo got my frame back

     



    Got the frame back from blaster today he did a great job . I did do some extra grinding to lower down the small amount of pitting that was in it .

    Made the trip down to Farm & Fleet also and picked up a gallon of Valspar Satin Black . Its a anti rust armor paint should keep frame around another 80 years .

    Made into etching primer

     



    Tonight I finally got some etching primer on it . The grinding on the pitted area's and then 80 grit the etching almost filled them in . Now when I get the fill and sand on it should be really smooth .
