Almost done

I had a 53 chevy that was the same color

Ya I hated it. I also didn't end up liking the original grey color so I went with semi-gloss black. I'm happy with how it turned out.

Coming along

Nice. I gotta find a stand like that.

Now to try out rust removal on the nameplate, any pointers? I was going to try a vinegar bath.

The more I think about it, the more it feels wrong to throw black on it. I think I will go with the original dark machine gray. It actually looks nice under the old nameplate.

Thanks for the heads up. That one will likely get a factory look, I like the color.

Also came with this Sioux grinder, a bit more heavy duty. I will restore it next.

I picked up this awesome looking 77 year old grinder the other day. I'm tearing it down to clean up and put new bearings in and then paint. I would like opinions on paint color. Should I stick with the original dark gray machine color or go with black like I want?

I found a dealer locally who can get some of the parts. I would like to know what sort of cfm a pump like this puts out. It says 150 psi on the compressor.

I am going to. I might rebuild it depending on on parts being available. I'm sure it could use freshening up after 60 years.

Hello. I picked up what I believe is a 1957 Gardner Denver compressor. Plate says ADA-1006 model and tank is stamped with 1957. Just wondering if anyone knows where to get more information and parts if possible. Thanks
