Been a busy couple days off, I figure why not share a couple more!!
Since I got my 1863, I've removed the engine and cleaned up the block, frame, mounting plate, under shrouds, piston/valve tins, etc. But I haven't done anything with the air cleaner or the eye-soar of a muffle shroud. It finally got its turn on my to-do list today. Removed, wire-wheeled down to bare metal, cleaned it up, and put on a couple coats of flat black hi-temp paint. This should hold up for a while!
Before, during, and after. Much, MUCH better.
