Gave some of my small parts to a guy here at work to get powder coated. The frame will be next. I will also be cutting my lonestar stem down to fit the frame tomorrow. Forging ahead.
going to start a build

sweet im painting mine[budget]unless I do a swap very possible with the powder coater.i am going to get that shee and rappy then I can sell my 03 blasty[for build money]
I am debating on just painting mine as well. But it has to wait till spring so I can blast it outside.
I don't have but a small garage to paint anything a pressure pot blaster to do big projects. I also just picked up an armadillo 2 bar front bumper last night. I like the looks and sets off my build.
Can't wait to see that shee. Now I need plastics, rear bumper, seat cover, brake lines, suspension, front shocks and an airfilter
Ground my new/old stem down to the correct size. I measured the new step against the old one. It is 5.5 inches longer than a stock blaster stem. Pretty happy about that.
Haha, thanks man. I'm trying. I will have to make a change to the frame a bit. Since I felt it necessary to keep the welds intact on the stem.
Well, I used calipers on my stock stem to match my new stem after grinding. I thought it was spot on but nope. I need to do some more work. Here it is sitting a little high but should give a visual.
I was going to use another cr high bend like on my dirtbike but I will be using a low bend bar instead.
Freezing water inside my pipe did very little to the dents. I will be getting a plug for the small end and heat them out. Just was trying ice first. Never tried it before and heard it works but not in my case.
I was hoping it would push on my huge dent and move it some. I know I will need heat and pressure but the ice didn't budge it. It will take some time I'm thinking.
