I've recently obtained my birth year Hunter's Pink (Red) - 1970. There might be 70s out there that are in better original condition, but I'd bet not many. This one is a beauty. In prep for my first ever restore, I found a K-code SJ and picked it up the other day. It's my "practice" before I start on the red head.
I've read all the restoration articles on the website but I'm sure I'll have more questions along the way... I'll post any of those here.
One question I do have from the get-go... what do y'all think about using a Dremmel in the restoration process? Some things I think it would be helpful on:
- wire brush to remove heavy corrosion from grates and triangle
- sanding wheel for 2nd step on grates and triangle
- polishing legs, ash pans, vent covers
I already used the wire brush to work on the coal grate for the SJ and seems to work well. Eager to hear how others use a Dremmel.
