Below are pictures before and after sandblasting the frame. I had Crystal Clean Media blast in Joppa, MD do the sandblasting and was very happy with the results. The frame was covered in rust and was worried that there may be rust weakened areas. When I picked it up was told that the frame was in excellent shape and definitely no problems from rust. Was one of the few frames he had seen of that year in that good of shape. Made me feel much better.

My brother and I then metal etched the whole frame and applied POR 15. I have been using POR15 since 1991 and highly recommend it. Best rust preventative I have found. Easy to use just don't get it on you or good clothes.
