[bpimpdaddy21]

Hey Pappy,

The frames I sent to you should be there today. Keep my updated here on the progress of them if you can or like. I would appreciate it. Pictures would be great if you get a chance! Thanks again!

[Pappy]

UPS normally shows up here around 6pm so ill be looking for him

[Pappy]

frames arrived 2 minutes ago and look to be ok. i did not unbox them but they appear not "UPSAFIED":p

[bpimpdaddy21]

Awesome, glad to hear they got there ok, keep me updated on the progress or if there are any questions. Thanks!

[bpimpdaddy21]

Not trying to be bothersome, but any update on the frames me and my brother sent? Just checking on the overall progress, thanks a bunch! Lemme know!

[Pappy]

both are at the strippers, should be early next week and ill get them back and knock them out.

[bpimpdaddy21]

Awesome, will you be installing the gusset kits, or will those be installed by burgard?

Also, when should I send the money for the services you are doing? Thanks!

[Pappy]

i let burgard handle most of my gusset work. i love to weld, but just dont have the time to do it and coat them also:p

your free to send payment at anytime.

[bpimpdaddy21]

Can you PM me the totals for each frame when you get a chance please! Thanks!

[bpimpdaddy21]

Pappy,

I PM'ed you back with some of the information you needed, and just wanted some confirmation on a couple things in the PM. PM me back when you read the message so I can get the money out for the frames. Thanks!

[Pappy]

will do!

[bpimpdaddy21]

Pappy, any updates on the frames progress, stripped? gusseted? PC'ed yet?

Also, did you get both payments from me and my brother? Let me know, thanks!

[Pappy]

payments recieved, no problems, thank you both very much

the strippers decided to close this week:ermm: so im kind of getting jacked a bit. 2 frames were done and i had them picked up before they closed, but until tomarrow i will not know which 2 are ready for me to do(gusseting/pc etc)

i did recieve you all's other parts today tho

[Pappy]

.

[Pappy]

Your small parts are complete also, but i am not completely satisfied with how the new sparkle red did on magnesium. i will look at it tomarrow in the sunshine and form a better opinion.

[Pappy]

,

[bpimpdaddy21]

Those look awesome Pappy. The black doesn't look very metallic in the picture, but it must just be the lighting in there. I can't wait to get the parts back. I will send you my brothers VIN later on, just to be safe so you can have the VIN as you wanted. Thanks again! Are you going to send out the small parts tomorrow? Thanks!

[Pappy]

i re did the head cover, and now she is smokin':D

[bpimpdaddy21]

Oh man, I can't wait to get those back! That looks hot. When will you be sending those back, Tuesday? Did you get the clutch covers redone, and if so any pics of them? Thanks again pappy!

[Pappy]

i figured id leave the covers as is, and redo them when the time comes. i trust you to give me solid feedback on how well they hold up and i do not mind covering them when its time to make them look new again. they will ship tuesday

You guys up there have a safe and happy new year!

[bpimpdaddy21]

Sounds good to me Pappy! Thanks for everything, and keep me updated on the frames! Have a safe and happy new year also!

[bpimpdaddy21]

Hey Pappy,

I got the parts back today, and they look great. I put the valve cover and clutch cover back on my engine, and it is looking great. I will post a picture in a bit.

Did you get my PM's about the frame status? Let me know. Thanks again!

[Pappy]

good, glad you like them

no change in status other then tomarrow more are do back from stripping. ill be glad to get this batch done, its unnerving to know im holding people up.

[bpimpdaddy21]

Your not holding me up, I'm just impatient, sorry for bugging you so much! ;)

[Pappy]

oh no , its no prob at all.

i know im cutting one fellow so close its scary. i have to do his swinger first thing in the morning, then drive it to him so he can reassemble his rear end and break the engine in on saturday, and hit the first district race on sunday!

i keep telling myself that in a few more weeks, i will be able to cut the time in half:p then by spring i hope to be able to turn a frame in just a few days!

[Pappy]

both frames are back from stripping and when i left today your brothers was on the bench to be gusseted. im going back tomarrow and hopefully they are both ready and i will knock them out!

[bpimpdaddy21]

AWESOME! Can't wait to see pics when they are done, and get them here! Thanks!

[bpimpdaddy21]

Oh, BTW....

[Pappy]

that looks sweet!

so tell me, is it as good as you thought from the pics?

[bpimpdaddy21]

It's better, the frame is gonna be the frosting on the cake man! haha!

[Pappy]

thats what i wanted to hear.:cool:

[Pappy]

just a suggestion, and i dont know what fender color you are running, but a chrome sub will make that color scream. i can pc chroem and iot looks killer, red or black fenders, it would look killer.

let me know, just an idea.

[bpimpdaddy21]

I am going to be running white fenders, so I think the red would still look the best with the white fenders. What do you think?

[Pappy]

nope, all red with white would loo best!

white agianst this red should be insane!

[RIDER136]

pappy this is bpimpdaddy21 brother and i must say that the valve cover and clutch cover came out awesome and if this is any indication on how the frames are going to look than it is well worth the wait. great job and i have been recamending you to all my friends who need powdercoating. thanx again

[Pappy]

well i always do my best. i have my fingers crossed on your bro's frame being it will be the first one ive shot with this new powder.

yours shouldnt eb a problem, black with metal flake clear. i will either be posting pcis tomarrow of your frames, or one of me hanging from a tree:D

and thanks for the compliment.

[Pappy]

black with metal flake clear

[Pappy]

best i could do with the flash

[Pappy]

New Sparkle Red

[Pappy]

ta da:p

[bpimpdaddy21]

:eek2:

WHOA!

Those are insane, they both look awesome! Can't wait to see them in person. Awesome job!

Are you going to ship these on Monday? Thanks again!

[RIDER136]

:eek2: those came out awesome cant wait
to them back thanx again

[Pappy]

there were a few tense moments as everyone in the shop waited to see how the red frame would turn out. once they all got tired of waiting i peeked and knew it was gonna be fine.

once she was taken outside there were many compliments:p i was just happy i didnt have to get a rope and a ladder:p

these should go out monday.

[bpimpdaddy21]

That is great to hear Pappy, if it looks as good in the light as it does in the pics and as you say it does, I should be grinning from ear to ear. Maybe this frame deserves to have its own thread started, hahahah! Thanks again! Great work!


BTW, I was thinking of sending my swingarm down to you to have you do it Stealth Black. How much would that run and what would be the turnaround time on it. Thanks!

[Pappy]

$55 and i will handle the return shipping.

it should only take a day or so if its stock.

[bpimpdaddy21]

I only had one problem with the clutch cover. I had to remove some of the PC off of the contact surface where it mates to the case, but that is probably a given.

Will I have to do this to the swingarm after also, remove the PC from the carrier race, etc? Thanks!

[Pappy]

i try to make things need no additional work once you recieve it, however when trans or double coat powders are used, there is a limit to what i can control.

as far as the swing arm, any powder that does find its way into the carrier area will pose no problems. some manufactures do not even bother to block off that area, but we do.

the clutch cover can be fully coated as the powder will not harm anything. some folks prefer a bare metal finish where the gasket goes, some do not mind. we have run them both ways without any issues.

on some car engine parts, we are even asked to coat the inside of valve covers and the bottom of intakes to make oil shed faster. I dont like doing the intakes, but as long as i dont see it causing harm ill do what ever a customer likes. i reckon thast a throw back to the days when the hot rod guys used to paint thier lifter valleys also:p

[bpimpdaddy21]

OK, cool. The reason I had asked is with my cover I had to grind down the mating surface, as I had a slight leak on the bottom when I put the fluid in. All good now though.

Did you get my PM? I was just wondering if the frames went out today and if you had a tracking number for them. Thanks again.

The swingarm and mounts should go out tomorrow, and I'll send you payment once they get there.

[Pappy]

i will be on dhl's website shortly printing more labels for more frames, i will get teh tracking numbers for ya then.

your frames and subs were loaded onto a dhl truck no more then 10 minutes ago:p

[bpimpdaddy21]

Sweet, can't wait. Just PM me the tracking numbers if you like. Thanks Pappy!
