Restoration: Before and After (Show Us Your Pics!)

Postby EPAC-EPIC-MARC on Mon Sep 02, 2013 6:20 pm

In an attempt to alleviate some of the dead-ness here recently, here's a thread that most here can join in on.

Post some before-and-after pictures of some restorations!

Got this on Craigslist at the beginning of the year, was just an empty shell. No lens clips, no reflectors, nada.

These pictures are of a few hours ago. The 12" section is from SirMarbelot and arrived as seen. This configuration is how it will stay as, because one of the 8" section's door got damaged from a fall off of my deck railing. :Phil:

Not quite After yet, but it will be once I find some pigtail reflectors and the time to strip it all down/repaint.

Got this from mcsigs, got the smileys on ebay, got the other parts from Sky Chief and coyttl.

From Joe, all it had done to it was a paint touch-up and an arrow green lens thrown in.

Mmmmmm, yes, good thread! Hey A.J., that Marbelite 12-8-8 is going to look excellent. I almost forgot how good that diamond pattern 12" red looks.
