Well at last I made a good start on my restoration of the Model 2 given to me some years back. The engine has been totally rebuilt with new bearings, seals, gaskets and believe it or not still only required a new set of standard rings. The bore had only 0.003" wear from the standard size. This was an average from top to bottom and everywhere in-between. All of the frame that is to be painted has been repaired and straightened out and is now in primer ready for painting in 2 pac when the weather is more suitable. I only need to sort out the handle and get it in primer and it will be ready for paint as well. As some of you may be aware I did ask about getting a set of the plastic wheels for this project but when they are available they are out of my price range but I just may have a set of new ones arriving soon and at a very good price.
