Great looking frame. What did you and Gord use to strip all the paint off with. Did you sand blast or use some other means.

Stew went to Home Depot and got some paint stripper from there,but he better be carefull the next time he goes...

"Heads up" for you and any of your friends who may be regular Home Depot customers. Over the last month I became a victim of a clever scam while out shopping. Simply going out to get supplies has turned out to be quite traumatic. Don't be naive enough to think it couldn't happen to you.
Here's how the scam works: Two seriously good-looking 18 or 19 year-old girls come over to your car as you are packing your shopping items into the trunk. They both start wiping your windshield with a rag and Windex,with their chest almost falling out of their skimpy T-shirts. It is impossible not to look.

When you thank them and offer them a tip, they say "No" and instead ask you for a ride to another Home Depot. You agree and they get in the back seat. On the way, they start making out with each
other. Then one of them climbs over into the front seat and performs an act in your lap, while the other one steals your wallet.

I had my wallet stolen January 4th, 9th,10th, twice on the 15th, 17th, 20th, 24th, 30th, three times just yesterday, and very likely many more times again this upcoming weekend as soon as I can buy some more wallets.
