welcome from Alpharetta..

Use enamel reducer, lacquer thinner, automotive strippers, Cortec and most non caustic strippers. Chrome can be porous however unless it is chrome peeling you should be okay.

Why spend 5x as much when it is available to the length and threads and stronger size he wants as well as flats for a wrench? I'd go with Mcmaster and have two parts in a day or two :)

Mc Master carr stock: hex stock 18" threaded 2 inches per end..easy to assemble and stronger with wrenching flats. http://www.mcmaster.com/#8420k89/=s4y8rt

Thanks all for positive comments. A few quick responses to questions- Spray gun types for bike frames? gravity feed "detail guns" are my preference. I have a Devilbiss EGA and a newer Sharpe Finex 1000. Sharpe refinishing guns are excellent and less $ than many pro guns. For tube frame...

Those subframes were always cracking... I attempted to find another sub frame- most were worse or broken entirely. Designed the gusset plate to bridge the stress areas and also for easy TIG welding with bend and a welding notch. Made it a simple 2 minute weld task for the welder. The trick to...

Finally finished an 87 Honda CR125 motocross frame refinishing plus minor repairs. Main frame and subframe was painted by a previous owner in white, we wanted back in factory Flash Red. Had to repair and strengthen the subframe seat tabs which were cracked and bent. Added thicker reinforcement...

Salt-X is an option- concentrate and easily applied with a pump spray bottle.

I'd go to Sherwin Williams. The associates are trained in color, coatings, refinishing and matching with excellent quality.

The straight line sander is intended for long relatively flat surfaces such as a door or hood or roof panel.

Got the extensions + adapter today..all work great, I did add a drop of tool lube to the detents and light cleaning. Good to go, thanks.:rocker:

Check with local woodworking dealers, often they know of local sharpening pros.

For 1/4 drives I some what use 1/4" or M6 threads as a guide. A 1/2" drive can twist a m6 or smaller with ease. Above that typically start with a 3/8 drive. 3/8 is most versatile. Largest for my use is 1/2 drive for 7/16 or M12 and above. My mystery is why do 1/2 drives sets start at head...

We built a home ramp for a sprite 95 years young member of our church who was about 5 foot in height. At approval of the family and her we set the top of the railing to 34 inches vs 36-38" code. Better ergonomics and safer for her private use. All our Church ramps however have ADA/local code...

With .001 accuracy specked and not as good as a Mitutoyo or Starrett much less a number of Tesa calipers. LOL. Carrera is a name in suspension shocks and Porsche not micrometers.

Bottle jacks are very versatile as well as the mechanical screw jacks. Most shop presses use them for compression. For lifting a transmission, aligning a tail shaft or small trailers. We often used a small bottle jack which also had a top integrated acme screw for fine adjustments. Also useful...

Can't weld..then bolt it together with Tee's. http://www.westmarine.com/stainless-steel-rail-fittings/sea-dog--stainless-steel-90-tee-fitting-1--10729499

If you are using this at a boat dock even in fresh water you will have corrosion quickly occur. In salt water it will rust to nothing in half the time. Often boat docks have low level e-"voltage" from engines, etc which increases the potential for galvanic corrosion. I'd just purchase one...

Great buy and better seller. As described and quality shipper. Sockets are all in the toolbox and recently used to install headers on a 2011 Mustang :)
