There is a shop outside Altoona who does frame powdercoating (they are south of Altoona, in the middle of nowhere - a little bit of a drive, but decent guys). They did Volkerā€™s '64 Cadillac frame for $500 (he brought it to them sandblasted & bare, but all suspension components, rear axle, etc were included). They did a nice job & the finish is very durable. I assembled all the frame components, and was very happy with their work. I know how to get there, but I do not know the shopā€™s name. I donā€™t talk to Volker anymore, but I will try to get the name from someone else. I will email this guy now & see if I get the info. Otherwise, you can call Volker & ask him. ---

The shop I mentioned in an earlier post is ā€œCustom Coatingsā€ and its south of Altoona. Off of I-99 between Altoona and Bedford. You want to talk to Dan Williams, his number is 814-329-4668. Tell him Thad Cunningham sent you. Thad is a friend of mine. ---
