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 .

Bobby,
Looks really good, I too have had really good service from Direct Sheet metal. I would buy from them again.

Thanks everyone I think once all the pieces are here it will be like Lego's going together . Ken I talked with a Dave and I think he knows customer service , He went over and above.

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 .

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 .

Looks really good!! Do you have any fingerprints left??
Ken

Ken actually haven't really sanded it yet . It is just a real clean frame . I hit it with some 60 grit then I used the DA with 80 on it . The fill andf sand will wear down some finger tips .
