Servicar-sportster trike: stripped.
With wrench (for bolts) and gas wrench (for the PO’s welds) I stripped the trike down to the bare frame.

I ground the frame tubes smooth where the seat and rear platform had mounted. Spray-on paint stripper and a cup brush on the grinder got rid of the old paint.

Nowhere to go but back together. Next time, primer and spot putty.
