[QUOTE="geek777, post: 112843, member: 8648"] Thanks RacerX. Gonna get some PB Blaster and soak the heck out of every bolt left on the bike and see what can be easily removed. I'll take some more close up pics of the rust on the insider area of the frame as well as flip it upside down and have a really good look at the engine mount area. I did so quickly when we picked up it yesterday and did see anything, but it's possible I missed something. Was thinking to also go through what I have and see what nuts and bolts are good, start to work on a list of what's missing and see if we have can bolt in the engine and any other good parts...sort of a mockup. There are no dents or wavy metal areas I've found and no areas of perforation but won't know for certain until it's better cleaned up. Maybe after we inventory what's here and compare to the service manual to see what's missing and have our list, we could then tear it down and get it ready for paint. I've got a Sears plastic tub/hoper style sandblaster (not the greatest thing really) but suspect glass beading is usually done in a media cabinet? If I recall correctly, glass media is more expensive and generally reused, correct? Is there an alternate type of media that would be ok to use which wouldn't damage the metal? Maybe it's better to just pay somebody to do it? [/QUOTE]
