I've had better luck selling the two tones machines, rather than the all reds in the past.. so figured I'd just do it up this way on this one.. .I'm sure I'll do some all red a's in the future.

Wow that is really a full restoration. I have to admit I don't do that much to my machines. That is amazing work. I don't want to know what your plating bill was. But I bet it was a lot cheaper  plating three machines at once than doing them one at a time.

great great job!

the best part is you seem to have enjoyed it too!

PPG Automotive paint is what is used by my painter, I don't know the specifics, I just know it looks awesome!
I charge $6k for a COMPLETELY restored machine like this...I think this is a fair price for all that goes into them... and I'm not out to gouge people either... so if anyone is interested in one.. .I'll offer discount to any SMC member... PM if interested and we'll talk.

I don't have any other originals that I would consider nice, they all need a fair amount of work.

Thanks for all the kinds words.. yes I do enjoy doing the machines.. but sure wish I had more time to work on them... Gotta get them done in the next few weeks before spring rolls around then yard projects get in the way...

I'm not sure exactly what it's called... I just saw the sample and said ... yeah do that!
I think the proper term is called Tripple Zinc plating... I'll check when I go back to get more done...
