| At
this point, this shows |
| about
75 years of crud. |
| The
differential had |
| already
been rough |
| cleaned.

for removal of the |

parts. |

as found crudy. |

|
 |
| A
fair amount of yuck |
| was
coming off the |
| differential
and frame. |
|
 |
| The
brake equalizers are a |
| sort
of differential that |
| assure
that brake cables |
| receive
the same pull |
| force
when the servo |
| actuates
them. |
|
 |
| Factory
numbers were |
| found
hand painted |
| on
top of the frame |
| rail
paint. |
|
| It's
exciting to clean off |
| crud
to find factory |
| markings
from the |
| 1929
era. This indicates |
| a
complete restoration |
| was
never done before. |
|
 |
| This
rig allowed force to |
| be
applied to bend the |
| frame
to reset camber |
| of
the wheels. |
|
| The
axels angled down |
| too
much and jacking |
| under
each side |
| allowed
correction |
| upward
to correct it. |
|
 |
| The
frame has been |
| stripped,
sand blasted, |
| and
primer painted with |
| the
help of the rotery |
| stand.
The stand was |
| made
from two engine |
| stands
custom adapted |
| to
the RR chassis frame. |
|
 |
| The
use of a power press |
| aided
the removal of the |
| front
axels from the |
| spindles.
Cleaning, |
| lubrication,
and painting |
| was
done next. |
|
 |
| The
petrol tank had |
| a
complete boil out and |
| processing
for leaks and |
| imperfections
prior to |
| painting. |
|
| It
also has a stand to |
| help
with sanding and |
| painting. |
