I am reasonably confident that I will have the chassis ready to lift out tomorrow (Tuesday) evening. It's not that heavy, about 90 lbs, but it is awkward to shift.
Would anyone available to help lift it out at say 7 p.m.?

I can help too if you need extra hands.

House.
Thanks!
Shannon, and anyone else,
You're welcome to join us but the three of us should be fine.
(Uh, Shannon, you might be a bit height-challegned for this job. We have to lift it up, way up.)

The frame is ready to pull (loose and part way out). It looks ugh-ly. What I expected but not what I hoped for.

Thank you !
Thank you !
Thank you !
The frame is worse than I hoped but better than I expected. I am off to get it dipped so I can properly evaluate it.

Sorry John,
I don't check here every day. Next time send me a text, glad it all worked out.

Sorry about that Angelo. I just assumed you would be swamped with Xmas stuff. Not to belittle my friends but it only took 3 minutes start to finish.
I dropped it off at the strippers this morning and it will be ready when I get back. There's only one question I'm not sure about:
Should I go with male or female strippers?

Well, I got the frame back from the blasters today and... well, uh, it's tough: especially in the front cross-member. New one is roughly $4.5K at my front door (ouch). I have found two used ones out of the eastern US in the $500 to $900 range but transport is an issue.
One step forward and two steps back!

Are you thinking the original frame is too much work to repair?
Or is it past that
