A bit more
Cleaned up old frame at the sand blasters to see how bad the bottom was.
Actually not too bad. I mean, its certainly not as good as new but OK.
Had a bit of ding in the top of the frame. Did a bit of creative panel beating to knock it out (well not quite but it looks OK).
New skin is a heavier gauge steel. Why? I have no idea really. Seemed like a good idea at the time. Ill let you know with the end result if this was a good idea or a bad idea.
Repaired frame with the assistance of Bruce Peelgrain....he also has an Oxy and I dont. He also has a stick welder and I dont. He also is a better welder than I am.
Gave the new skin a clean up and primed it. Primed the frame as well.
