Come better weather I'll pull it out into the light and get a full shot of it for yas.  |
Pics will be appreciated!
Most chassis clean up pretty well with just Naval Jelly, but sometimes you have to strip it right down and bead-blast it. Whatever you do, don't forget to seal it. Once did one up real nice, thought wax would keep the air away enough to avoid rust, discovered I was wrong.
Dialstring needs some resin on it, does it?
