Engine bed repair pics

Post by Russell »

Here are some before and after pics of my engine bed. As you can see in the before pics the bed was badly corroded, to the point where the glass holding it in place had badly cracked. The glass was all cut off, and fortunately after cleaning off all the corrosion there still appeared to be plenty of metal left to adequately support the engine. So after it was all cleaned it was reglassed and painted, I am happy with the result.

I just love B&A's. It always gives me hope that I can do that too.
Nice job.
