FGs for sale

Watching you from a ridge
Just saw this one on Ebay. From one of the pictures it looks like the rear frame rails have been remade. The rivets have been removed and replaced with bolts along with there not being any "extra holes" in the rails.

Same guys I bought mine from. Interesting, I wonder if they're looking to get into the used FG business. Tucson isn't exactly a hotbed for FG's. Would also be interesting to find out if it has the same previous owner, lol. ETA: just read the description, I'll bet it was the same owner, sounds like his M.O.

Quick general question on buying a used FG.....

Are replacement frames available? If so where and how much do they generally cost? Could a good welding shop or frame shop fix or fabricate a rusted or damaged frame?

What is the preferred coating for them? Some sort of POR-15 or KBS product with a UV protector and an asphalt undercoating on top of that?

I had a replacement rear frame section made for mine. It's pretty much like a big erector set, lots of bolting and unbolting.

Okay, that rear mounted ATV with dual outboard spares is one of the slicker things I've seen...
