During the blasting, another crack showed up on the frame from ice. This made a total of four of them. Since the tubes are tapered, it would appear they were made from rolled metal, with a seam, which was very subject to opening up. Below is a shot of the crack, welding it up, and the finished repair. Then it was back into the sandblaster to finish the stripping.
