The frame looks great. Do you plan to apply anything to the frame to protect it after the soda blasting?
Fork lowers look much like yours. I am taking them tomorrow to try vapor blasting them. I'll post up some before and after pics. Mine aren't SP so I am planning to rebuild them with stiffer springs and Racetech valves. Been going round and round on that, but after getting the quote back from Maxton, I pretty much made up my mind.
