That colour on all the chassis parts looks absolutely spot on in it's colour match. Yes it's a bit more glossy but that's even better in my opinion.
The engine looks ready to add the extra bolt on parts and thus looks stunning.
Don't forget to fit new "RLS5" bearings to each end of the reel before handing it over for spin grinding. Ensure the bearings are a tight fit over the shafts and not loose. If they are you'll have to centre pop the shaft surface area upon where the bearing is located using equi-spaced pop marks around the shaft. Then press the bearing over the pop marks which will lock the bearing in place.
I'm going to go out on a limb here and say that this is going to be one of the best restos I've seen in quite some time.
I can't wait to see the photos of the final assembled product, something many on this forum seem to fail to do thus leave us all hanging, but I'm sure you're not going to do that to us here.
Cheers, BB.
PS. Yes that's a good observation in regards to various lots of info being spattered all over different threads. maybe we could publish a full limited edition step by step workshop manual on how to do it from start to finish.
Nah !!! that'll take all the fun out of it wouldn't it ?
I live a 24 Hour lifestyle, but every now and again I seem to fall asleep, well at least that's what my wife tells me.
