[6pack] Ratco is here!

[Andrew Packard]

I didn't know about the RATCO cutouts until I received the frame.  There's
no bottom to any of the parts where the cutouts are, so it's not as if dirt
could be let in to collect in an area.  You wrote "crude" instead of "crud",
but maybe you were thinking about leaking oil . . .
I opted for the powder coating with foam injection in all the tube sections,
so there is no path to get inside the frame.

Tony was able to work some magic and ship to CA for $575.

Andy,

The comparison photo between the original and Ratco is particularly
interesting.  Are the "Ratco" cutouts functional in any manner.  Any
concerns about them allowing crude to build up inside the frame?  Do you
mind telling what the shipping costs were to California?

Tony has a lot of good pics of the frame at Rat-co.com, but they seem to
look better from my garage for some reason.
