Title: Re: Vendo 39 restoration Post by: davethebirdman on March 04, 2012, 06:09:31 am 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) Title: Re: Vendo 39 restoration Post by: bcharlton on March 04, 2012, 10:12:58 am Nice work. 3 years is about right. Did you re-galvanize/replate the inside or paint?

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 rougeBrian |
