Hello All:
Yes, it's been almost a year since I've been around here. A lot has happened since then. Work, life, vacations Covid etc.
But finally, my South Bend 13 has taken on a new appearance and is working like a fine Swiss watch. It was a fabulous experience, but truth be known, this is a project most would attempt once in a lifetime. It was a dirty job, it was frustrating at times, it took a few shekels for replacement parts and several long days of cleaning grunge, stripping paint, etc, etc, you all know the drill. But finally I can post a couple of photos, before and after.
I plan to put together a timeline of the restoration project and maybe post a link here to that, so stay tuned. I promise it wont be another year.
Thanks to all here that helped and gave advice, your comments have made the project a bit more enjoyable. Photo descriptions: 1: On the U-Haul in my driveway, 2: A few ugly parts missing, 3: One year later, 4: A close up of the fun parts. Much more to come.
Cheers,
Raydel.
