Frame Restoration w/pics

So I finally got the frame all cleaned up.. I didn't take it to the sandblaster as originally intended. I didn't think it was too bad and I figured I might as well try to do this myself. After getting it all sanded and cleaned, I ordered the Eastwood frame kit and did the Rust Converter today... I need to let it sit for 48 hours and then can put the Rust Encapsulator on and then Paint it.. Man what a difference..

Check out the pics below.. I even got the wife to get her hands dirty and help out..lol..
