Frame (pre-powdercoat)

[mcf]

I want to have my frame powder coated but I need to know if it's worth it. What I know so far:

left rear fender brace broken off (lost)

front left headlight mount 'cocked' to right

front left fender mount 'cocked' to right

(this bike was obviously wrecked on the left side)

what else should I look for, I don't want to pc this frame and end up with a junk frame as this is my building block.

 

How should I prep the frame? (ie remove tabs, grind welds, etc)

 

Oh and while I'm thinking about it, if you look from the seat area to the front of the frame (when it sits as just a roller), there are 'open' spots where one part (bar that goes downward) is made, it looks factory but why the hole?

Is there any way to see if the frame is bent?

 

Thanks.
