This morning I got up bright and early and drove up to Mexia to drop the frame and metal suspension components to be powdercoated. When I got there the guys were very friendly and upon unloading the frame they asked if I wanted it "shiny-ass black." I said that is exactly what I want. I got the frame pretty clean but they are going to sandblast it and the other pieces to remove and debris or surface rust prior to doing the coating. I took a quick tour of the facility and saw some completed pieces, and they do very nice work. The frame is going to look night-and-day better when I pick it up and it should be ready next week.

And, yes, you can fit the 12' long roadster frame into a mid-sized SUV. I loaded the front (heavy) end in first so it could anchor the frame. The rear stuck out the back of the hatch a bit, but not unacceptably far.
