Howdy okidoke,
I looked at the Flickr pics showing the different stages of your rebuild and love the artistic licence you took with the bright silver used on the base and was impressed with the axles. I need an 8" bench grinder off my own now.
Leaving the cowl in natural metal was very left of centre and it looks nice that way. The wonders of clear coat!
I never knew that style of plastic dress cowl came with the blanked off cup starter to make way for the side starter. I thought they only did that to the similar more rounded style cover and the rest were the covers developed especially for the side pull engine.
What silver paint(s) did you use on the base and the handle bars? I want sine as bright as that.
on a job well done. Incredible how good the results are with a clean up and repaint.
