As I’m really looking it over, like powder coating, I’m finding where the galvanizing could go. Overall I’d do it again, but it would be tempting to remove rivets, get all the pieces coated, and then bolt it all together.

Did you find a source to dip your frame?

I did. The frame had to be completely stripped before galvanizing.

best way is to lookup the American Galvanizers Association and start calling. There are a lot of places that do galvanizing. Not all will dip frames. I found a couple in Alabama that will. Also see if they will dip loose pieces too.

Geez man. When I bought the TDK Jeep frame in 2015, shipping was $500 and galvanizing option was $400. If you are going to ship your frame to have it done wherever SVandal had it done that could be thousands of dollars.
