51 R18 Rebuild
dpaulson:
Here is a before and after for comparison.
All in all, I'm glad I'm almost done. Probably never get done, just work on it less...
the old trucker:
Looks like another one rolling off the assembly line.
Looking great my friend...looking great. I also like the color of the wood as it goes good with the paint job. My hat's off to you...

Hello Dave
I would like to comment on your recent rebuild of the 1951 Bombardier.
You took a sad looking machine and gave it a whole new life. You are a man that looks to have the ability to restore very well and at the same time you have implemented some very nice ideas that make the machine more functional. Very nice work!.I am curious what you did for a speedometer. May be you will come up to Cranberry Portage with your machine this coming winter and will will have the opportunity to meet you and your machine.
Regards
Ray

Hi Ray,
We are planning to go to Cranberry Portage for the next rally and look forward to meeting you and Paul, KPM, Cranman and the rest of the gang that shows up. The speedometer that I used I purchased from Surplus Center (a US company).

Its a good price and works very well and being electronic, you set the pulses / mile and is as accurate as you make it.
