    Thanks for the comments, guys. It was a fun project to work on.

    Turaj, no idea how much time went into her. The base started with some basic dimensions and a rough sketch, then was design on the fly. the clean up after the electrolysis went fairly quickly. Priming and painting probably took less time than taping off the machined areas.

        Outstanding, love the shop-built mobile base.
        Measure it with a micrometer...
        Mark it with a crayon...
        Cut it with a chain saw!

            Pap, great job! I'm absolutely sure it looks a lot better than when it was brand new.

            I agree with JR, it does look like a flattop!

                        I'm just glad I didn't have to help carry that monster. Glad for you though. Enjoy.

                            Great restoration and stand construction, Pappy.
                            What a super find that was for you.
