Sarthurs01 753 #1 Posted January 16, 2020 I decided that the 753 would be next in line to be restored. Yesterday I got the first round of finished parts painted. Now on to fixing the hood and strip the tank and on to paint. 6 6 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

953 nut 51,662 #10 Posted January 17, 2020 We all love to watch fresh red paint dry. Looks like you are doing a great job. Do you plan to rebuild the engine and transaxle? 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Sarthurs01 753 #14 Posted March 11, 2020 Was able to get the tank sandblasted and primed today. Started fixing the hood too. Welded up some unwanted river holes and stress cracks.. ran in to little rust that needs cut out and replaced too nothing to major. Will try and snap some pictures of the hood when I get to work tomorrow! 4 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Sarthurs01 753 #15 Posted March 13, 2020 Have most of the dents tapped out, holes welded and patch welded in the bottom of the grill. Little bit of grinding and time to media blast it and little bit more body work. 3 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

WHX?? 46,754 #17 Posted March 18, 2020 Hood grilles look to be fairly decent..... those can be buggers to try and straiten. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Pullstart 59,693 #18 Posted March 18, 2020 Looks great! Do you have a plan to add a tab for mounting the hood up front? Here are a few links to my 502 build, showing some detail on the hood mount. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
