My SuMo Saga....
Finally got serious about tearing down my XT6 tonight......
I'm soooo glad I'm doing a frame-up resto.....'cause I knew I'd find other issues that'll need addressing  ......
Looks to be a crappy weld from the factory that finally gave way to the notorious vibes of a Big Thump....
I was pumped to find a K&N already in the airbox.....that appears to only be in need of a good cleaning...
Decided to call it a day.....but not before ringing up my MetalFab buddy to inquire of his services for prepping the frame....
He told me his Mom is ready to go over the Floor Plan I drew up for her new house.....tomorrow.......which means I'll finally have some coin to order those motor parts!
Also re-confirmed with a workmate about powder-coating the frame, skidplate, & footpeg brackets.....
He's already got the colors I'm looking for....Fire Engine Red for the frame.....& Satin black for the rest......only gonna cost me $100!
More to come as things progress..........
