1988 GT Performer - Slight Tubing Impact - Possible to straighten?

<< < (2/2)

Discostu:
Don't fill it!!!!

It will need to be metal finished if your powdering it.  The reason is powdercoating requires the frame to go in an oven at something like 10,000 degrees (complete guess, I'm sure dan will post the actual temperature). The filler will fall off the frame at that temperature.

It is easy to braze up the dents. This could be done by sawzell or Darren Kapp. 

I hope this helps. Stu :daumenhoch:
