Southpaw, I've gathered that you powdercoat frames and paint badges, but how do you get the components looking so nice, do you replace them all with similar, but not as beat up ones, or do you clean them? I'd love to see some kind of a 'tricks of the trade' kind of thread. Hell, there probably is one already.
Your flikr is amazing. The level of finish and polish you achieve again and again is amazing- either it's a labor of love and you're making pennies per hour once the dust settles after you've flipped the bike, or you're some kind of magician. Really, beautiful work and attention to detail.
