Title: Early 70s patent pending Easterner
Post by: Red_5_Wrangler on May 01, 2019, 03:15:15 PM
Big thanks to @bladz  for some excellent agent work.   Great job on the packing!

She is not perfect but I feel like she is.

I thought I could get straighter lines with tape and a rattlecan on the wheels. I was wrong I will go back to the brush next time.

Beautiful restoration Red. Great work on that vent rivet.  I'm interested in how you replaced the previous one.

Nice score!  Looks a lot like mine.  Enjoy the color change.

Oops on posting this here. I reported myself... Maybe they will. Move it. Thanks if you do @SixZeroFour no worries if I must continue to look at my fat fingered screw up.

I cheated. I found bolts at my local true value that look just like the kind of rivet they use. Paired with a SS washer and locknut.  8)

Nice job.  Good eye on @bladz for noticing it had a bolt in the top vent that you changed to another bolt that looked like a rivet.
