Finally got the frame all cleaned up, primer, and painted. Was debating whether or not to get it sandblasted but I think a grinder and a wire brush wheel on a drill do just as good a job. And it saved about 500 bucks lol.
Also cleaned up and painted the rear axle but forgot to get a picture. Once we get the front wheels back from the machine shop, we'll be ready for a rolling chassis + transmission.
Next step is to rebuild the engine. I'm eager to give it a shot just for the experience, but both grandfathers are hesitant and they're rubbing off on me. Whats a rough appraisal for having a 102 year old engine rebuilt that there are no detailed manuals for? (there is a manual with some detail, but its barely enough to complete a rebuild.) I've tossed around the idea of having it rebuilt, but the cost scares me too. For now, its going to stay under cover. Might try to loosen up valves and clean out threads of holes.
