No much happening these days in my garage due to high traffic at the office.
I did manage to escape for a couple of hours with my company's semi, load the frame and drive it to sandblastland!:hihi2:

Very cool if you have access to all that equipment! Not for a hobby mechanic...

Alright, several PM's are asking how am I doing.
Well actually today was day 12 on working on it.
I got my frame hope along with all parts.
This is the current condition of the sutuation. (sorry all phone photos)
and the few parts that did not make it to the powder paint.

I assembled the joints back together today. In the beginning it feels like one of those IQ tests that you tray to remove a ball from a cube.
But after a few tries I got the hang of it and
THESE ARE THE TWO SECRETS:
1 Place the inner wide spaces across the exterior narrow spaces.
2 keep the two interior cylinders raised with your hand from underneath and rotate the so you insert the balls for the outside one at a time.
Taraaa...
Then add PLENTY OF GREASE!!!
BEFORE IMAGE
Make sure to tap on the grease with every addition. It has to move downward and then do the same procedure from the lower side.
Did some aesthetic touching...
ANOTHER BEFORE IMAGE (don't you just love those??)
and I am pretty happy with the result.
OH... BTW Apart from the grease and soap... ZERO parts purchased!
