The journey continues .... .... the underside. Time to disassemble, scrub everything and pick out the best parts.

And more .... The chassis was cleaned and assembled first. Actually, it was completed awhile ago and the motor rebuild sat on hold.

The scrubbing bubbles did their magic Finally, the dirty part of the process is behind me. Now the fun part begins.

Another view .... And now the frontal shot. A bit close but can you ever be too close. And as we all know, the most exciting and satisfying view. Relish the moment ...

Pat, It sure looks like you have done a great job on the machine. It must be very satisfying to see your finished machine. Hope you can post another picture of it sometime. | ||

Pat, It looks stunning! Great work you have done there. The 63 is one of my favorites and I just got one from Fred S. when I visited him in Durham a few weeks ago. I have had several come and go in last several years but this one is going to stay with me. Now I have the 63, 64, 66, 67, 68 and 69. I adore the 60 series of Hoover's. So, you are coming to the convention? I heard that you were not going to make it. Change of plans? I hope so! Charlie | ||
