    Absolutely 3WD although any pitting, gouging, or any other damage in the metal obviously will show but the axle should turn out like Dirtweed's did. This is the last load I had done.

    I have seen so any builds where everything was painted, new plastic, new everything BUT old rusty fasteners and axles. I know not everyone has a metal finisher near them thanks to the EPA but If you do have one, go talk to them. Some of them don't like to do small loads so go talk to them. I have a guy here that will do 75lbs for 75 bucks. Axles are about 80 bucks. I have another load I hope to take to him soon.

    Wow when I first looked at your pics I though it was my pics,but then I seen my red and black tool box sitting next to each other and I Knew they are in two different buildings. LOL

    You are getting a lot better price then I am.Mine cost me $150 no matter how many pounds I send, I think I did 90 some pounds the first time. I'm still happy with that because chroming was $2 a bolt. And it's so much nicer putting motors back together with new looking bolts, let alone whole bikes.

    The difficulty comes down to if you were good at puzzles when you were a kid.

    The pic I posted is my spare bolts. I stripped a bunch of trikes a few years back and had all the hardware replated. I have them all sorted by diameter and length so when I need something I don't have to dig for what I need. It really is a pleasure to do a build with like new bolts.

    They would have to blast it to get the paint off so it would probably come out with a matte finish.

    Nice Refurb. Is that just cleaned up or powdered?

    I sand blast them before I take it apart and then just use the VHT cast silver that has a little flake in it then clear coat. I 'll powder coat them and even polish them if the want but that's over a $1000 to do that.Click image for larger version.

    Well this time I took the KLT160 tank to get blasted and then to Overnight Plating to have the guys Nickel coat it
    so it wouldn't rust anymore. They did a great job as usual. Now to have it powder coated and tattooed with Real Tree Camo.

    Where in Rochester is this place? I'm out in Penfield every so often for doctors appointments. Never seen it out there.
