I disassembled it all. In my opinion the only way to do it. The jigsaw was in a lot of better shape than it looked. Just needed a good cleaning. Not too hard at all.

Thanks everyone.

Fender guitars, I will have to remember that. A lot cooler to say I painted it the color of a Fender guitars than a bathroom.

Truth be told, that is quite close to Magna's original color!(IIRC) They were slightly darker.

Nice color combo on the restore. Looks good.
I was going to restore my 1955 MK 5 using the colors Seamist green and Neptune green from the original 1955 Chevy color codes.
http://55classicchevy.com/body-colors.htmlThese (click on Exterior Color Selections in upper right of page for site navigation and to be able to veiw colors) Colors would have had to be custom mixed ---big$$$---so the six dollar a can Rustoleum won out:D ---Dave

Thanks for the tip. I will have to remember to look at car colors on my next restore. Car manufactures always have the in color for the times. The Seamist looks a lot like the Seafoam green I used. Kinda has a blue tint to it.

Very nice job!

Were you able to find some type of gasket for the lower oil reservoir? Mine continues to leak.

In the message (as you read it) there should be a link (highlighted in blue) that when clicked on will open a new window and display the pix(or what ever else may be appropriate depending upon what the link refers to).

Did you read post # 5?

1) Click on paper clip - a new window will open for the purpose of selecting and uploading each pix. They must be 800x600 or less. You may upload up to 5 per post. You may also create a link to another url.

2) Go back to 'reply' and now when you click on the paperclip, it will present a list of those uploaded.


If your question is not answered yet, we need clarification of exactly what the question is. From the reader's perspective, or the poster's perspective?

Have not gotten to that yet. I purchased some rubber in the plumbing department at lowes. Sq about 5" I guess. Going to try that first. My casting has some deep groves in it I don't think the thin paper type will work well.
I had the rubber soaking in a glass of oil to see it it broke down or anything. All looks good.
