Restoration of a mid 1960's Jensen 50 (PART A)
By: IndianaRog Date: March 8, 2023, 8:09 am
---------------------------------------------------------
In Nov. 2022, I purchased via eBay a "restored" Jensen
50...turned out to need a bit more restoration!
My appreciation to Bruce of SPS who machined a handful of new
parts to replace worn or missing bits. His handwork will be
shown in Part C.
Having just finished this project, I will share the process via
three parts...this is Part A...mostly the refinishing steps.
[attach=1]
Engine as received...not bad looking, though the color scheme
was wrong for a mid-1960's engine
[attach=2]
Original data tag (later replaced)
[attach=3]
Badly stained original wood base before refinishing
[attach=4]
Bin full of parts to be re-refinished
[attach=5]
Cast engine and generator stripped prior to refinishing...notice
"correct" color showing in engine's old paint
[attach=6]
Flywheel and generator parts being stripped
[attach=7]
Repainted cast parts, ready for reassembly
[attach=8]
Repainted firebox and chimney base
[attach=9]
Refinished wooden base after lots of sanding, hole plugging and
5 coats of polyurethane
[attach=x1]
New data tag courtesy of SPS
====================================================
check tomorrow for Part B
