These are welded and could be in for a lot more head aches if taken apart

I think your going to be extremely happy with he finished product. Good Luck. Title: Re: Machine taken apart for restoration??? Post by: Pat Pixley on July 15, 2010, 09:22:10 pm Like C.C. Said your good to go any further and it may be a bear to get back together the ends are spot welded into
place . It looks like it going to be a sharp looking machine when done :biggrin:. Title: Re: Machine taken apart for restoration???

Better yet get a can of paint stripper and clean off ALL those letters with the help of a wire brush. They will show up looking much deeper, not to mention possible chemical reaction produced when new paint contacts old paint even through the primer :darn: |
