Well done... Only three years. I'm sdure most of us have projects that have taken as long, if not longer.

Looks great. You can 't beat a 39 (well you can an 81 or a 56 but you know what I mean)

Nice work.  3 years is about right.  Did you re-galvanize/replate the inside or paint?

I stripped it, then repainted it. The bottom of the tub was pretty well overtaken by rust, so I replaced it with a new panel. I polished out the drum with a cloth wheel on my 4" grinder and jewelers rouge
