Ok, today was the day.
I picked up the frame today from powdercoat.
When i first saw it.....i said, holy fuck, the color is amazing.....but after i looked it over alittle.....i was very very very displeased with the powdercoat application quality, alot of the things the guy told me he was going to do to the frame to prep it for spray, he didnt do. He didnt use the metal filler to smooth out the grinder marks and pits in the metal, he didnt spray from multipule angles to make sure the kandy layer didnt look streaky, and he didnt tape off alot of areas i asked him to.
Needless to say, i left the powdercoat shop pissed off, and with all the money in my pocked that i had came thare with. He saw it my way in the end, and after a little bit of an argument, i told him that i did not think that what he did for me was worth what he wanted...he understood.
When i got home, i wasnt even sure what i was going to do with the frame.....alot of the spots that bothered me, wernt noticable to other people, i had a few friends over and they could only point out a few things....i still was unsure.....but i unloaded it off the trailer anyways, and decided i better bolt some chrome on it and see what happens.
so i did, and im glad i did, beacause now i will sleep alittle easier tonite, because after i started putting the parts on the frame, alot of the things i thought you would see, arent noticable......there are still a few issues, mainly on the front frame section......but alot of the light spots that were bothering me are covered up when the link bars are on and when the canti brackets are on......and espically when the wheels are on.
im still not completely sure what im doing with it.......im gonna keep putting accessories on and see what happens.....idk, im still dissappointed.....and it took alot of the excitment out of the build......but im not out for the count yet.
well see i guess
