Check out this primer glistening on a warm sunny Saturday in August. Special thanks to IDEAL SUPPLIES of Ludlow, Kentucky for exceptional products and services.

As special thanks to all of the volunteers that came out to begin the overhaul in earnest. With the left front cowing and hood sanded crews needle scales and wire brushed the 51 year old GE to bare metal. One of several coats of several coats of primer was applied to the engine which has taken on a new appearance.

If you ever want a quick bite to eat while I’m out little town be sure to visit Riverside Marketplace - Ludlow for some great homemade food gas, fuel and beverages.

Thanks for watching and be sure to like and follow the engines page for additional updates and progress.
