My Dad found this in a pawnshop about 25 yrs ago. It was HAND BRUSH painted battleship grey with orange paint as a top coat...ugly. So it was split open..at the back seams..I said..hey lets restore her... I have re-veneered her, and sprayed her a sunburst... I have spent time in this forum and gotten some minor parts ordered. Thank you Paul Setzer...and POPS... As the resoration progresses..I will update my photos... OK now the front and back are done..wow, never done this before...but I am having fun.. Paul Setzer is making me new water slides and a replacement pickgaurd..the one I have is cracked...
