Great looking saw. I reworked one earlier this year as well and enjoyed working and learning on it.

Nice... what type of paint did you use on the plastic carb box cover? Did you prime it with anything special first?

 

[Adkpk]

What year is that saw? Looks real nice!

What do you have in mind? Before long you'll be looking for a big-medium saw, and then a big saw, and then a huge saw! You've got to cover all of your bases! If you're looking for another older saw to resto, an 045 or 056 would be a good choice. Parts are still available, and they're good runners.
