HERE is where I started ... dont mind the date on the pic .. it was the original pic from the guy I bought it from .. how about that .. 2 years to the day I started the deal for purchace

 

Alright! Lets see how it all began and got to where it is now!!

ok .. so I started with a bare/stripped frame .. I bought in the "package deal"

the original trekker was in a front end collision , so it needed a new frame ..

i've seen people use the por 15 a lot. does it brush on?

 

yes you can brush it on .. I used a brush on alot of the parts ... it' also sprayable ..

I have a "shutz" gun pressure pot , so I was able to do the INSIDE of the frame as well .

 

started to strip the old girl



and saddened by the rust I found





so I cut it all out , and rebuilt it all .





and sent it out for a blast .. and with the "new" front clip .. ready to weld on



all seamsealed , and epoxied .
