A big welcome from Northern Ohio. Hey that frame looks very nice. Have a nice Christmas.

70cst10_05 · 12-25-2002, 02:43 AM

just to drop you guys a line i thought i would let you know i sandblasted my frame myself to save money, which might i add is bout on my sh!tlist as you get sand everywhere, and i used a selfetching primer on the frame as well, it wasn't very fun sandblasting but in the end i hope all the hard work pays off

**BIG ORANGE** · 12-25-2002, 12:14 PM

Welcome from the palmetto state,your project is lookin good,how much money did you have in the sandblasting and the priming and painting I had my frame sandblasted and then powdercoated and I was wondering how much difference there was in price.
Thanks!

70cst10_05 · 12-25-2002, 10:50 PM

the cost of the whole deal was pretty expensive but im sure it wasn't as much as yours, not to put you down, but 10 or 11 bags of sand and 3 somethin a bag and i dont' recall right off hand the price of the paint, im guessin it was 2 to 300 hundred bucks all together if that.
