yeah man thanks...it's hard not to feel anal about gettin those things totally off...it looks like a mess when you finish the grinding/filing/sanding...but the powder coat fills in really well. If i were to do it again, i'd probably just use metal files all the way, for fear of chunkin the frame with the grinder bit.
