I would love to find a OEM pipe for this if anyone knows of one I could purchase or do a trade with..

Restored 125 pipe would like to find a good candidate to do this with a oem IMG 9783IMG 7635 1IMG 7636 3.jpeg?VersionId=ocK4MXEoUtRzTIl9KIMG 7637 0.jpeg?VersionId=eNCBA2bHqx307r6Rcf0U7NwRHn250 pipe

I did the air pressure and heat also used a dent puller 

And then had a friend do the lazer paint removel

Ok so welding and some grinding done now going to try (never used before) JB extreme heat metallic paste and sand it out smooth then to powder coat.image 247.jpg?VersionId=ppUil0SXWHPCWnI4Hl5Tu BfOqHj

My thoughts are to use this because of the oven heat during powder coat....

As a "body filler" I do have some experience doing body work for a friend on the side.

Not sure if this would be the right thing to do, any thoughts???

I am open to any input about the proper way to do any thing during this project.

How well did the laser stripping work on the pipe? Did it remove all the paint and rust? What type of surface finish did it produce? Thanks!
