Glad to see another one saved from the burn pile.Good work on the jig, just one more reason it takes so much time to properly restore one of these ols girls.Your on a roll now.
Pete, ordered a new dbl. taper drive shaft today, for the '57 StarFlite. Add a little hi tech with old school. I am SO CLOSE to the finish..... |
