Rudy Posted June 15 Report Share Posted June 15 That's not a restoration. It's a resurrection. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
brveagle Posted June 15 Report Share Posted June 15 Here's the full video if anyone is interested. Is pretty interesting, but take it all with a grain of salt. (pun intended) Many people say it's artificially rusted. P.s. Notice how he attaches the drum at the end Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Taliaferro Posted June 15 Report Share Posted June 15 You know there is an easier way. Go buy WD40 Rust soak. Place it in it and with in 24 hours all rust gone. Tracie Hill Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StrangeRanger Posted June 15 Report Share Posted June 15 Given the amount of rust visible, the underlying metal is in improbably good condition. Definitely something is not right Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They just dug up a nun after 8 years with literally no decomposition, this would be on par with that. I think they were talking about sainthood. This would be on par with that, St Thompson.

MRCTMG Posted June 16 Report Share Posted June 16 I'm not a gunsmith or a machinist, but having worked on old cars for many years, I also have extreme doubts about the "rust", the ease with which it was removed and how great the underlying metal looked. Still a very amusing/entertaining video, though! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jojeep Posted June 16 Author Report Share Posted June 16 When I saw the L Sight, I thought this was something buried during WW2. Lots of stuff on these Restoration Videos are from Europe. When WD-40 and Liquid Wrench FAILS, I break out this stuff for Rusted or just plain tight Screws, Bolts I try the others first because this is stuff is expensive.

anjong-ni Posted June 17 Report Share Posted June 17 It was a pleasure to watch the videos. Very well done. My projects don't usually go so smoothly. Maybe further gone than these. And torched into more parts! ...Phil Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
