Hey, how is everyone? Sorry I haven't added anything for a nunber of days. I'm in the middle of trying to move into a new house, now that it's ready. I'll try and take pictures of the newly painted parts soon, and try and get back to working on this asap also. Hope everyone is well.

etc. Another view.

Wheels Front wheel removed

Finally, back to the project. Not much done over the weekend, got called in to work alot, but I'm back into it. I mask off the lamp hood and handle, and will paint them tommorow I hope. It'll be good to let them cure for a few days. Next, I removed the front wheels at their attachment to the...

another view Other side of switch

plug/socket and new wire Hi, didn't get much done yesterday. Had to work most of the day and evening. I took pictures of the switch, the wires attach to the back of the socket with screws just like they do on the switch. If you look at the previous pictures you can see the insulator cap that...

Next So I could do all the painting at one time, I decided to keep working on motor. I drilled out the bumper rivets on the lamp hood, and kept them so I could try to reuse them. Started polishing the hood and motor top, so there won't be to much polishing left after I paint the inside of the...

oops, forgot I did pack the bearings when I reassembled them using a tongue depressor and a small syringe. I used a multipurpose black high pressure bearing grease, same thing I use on my '30 Desoto. You can soak the felt pads in solvent too, and squeeze them out on a paper towel or rag. When...

Wow! Thanks for all the responses, guess I'm a little suprised. In a good way though, and I'm very glad if all this helps anyone else with their projects. Fred "compactelectra" I would be more than happy to send you the photos when I'm done, thank you for asking. About the bearings and...

And finished All back together. Cosmetics come later, if anyone was wondering.
