Windy Update-1950 Reburbish
Posted: Mon Jul 12, 2004 10:34 pm
Hi ALL,
Just picked up the sheet metal that goes on "WINDY" my first refurbish
attempt today.
I think it looks R-E-D and lots of it.
Windy is one of the 1950's that I am currently working on and hope to
get to bring to CUBARAMA IN Mo. in Sept.
I am still working on de-rusting the castings and wheels. The transmission, final drives, engine, radiator base, and wheel hubs all have been rebuild from the ground up or replaced entirely. In fact I told the
parts man at IH [still refuse use Cxxx] if it rolls, slides, or seals we will
replace it. Just like someone on here has said, "the 3 most expensive
words are, may as well".
Windy will also be decked out with four new tires.
