Pappy painting prep @ our Steam Shop







"Pappy" - the 1917 Case 75HP traction engine restoration project has moved into high gear now that we're settled in our new home. Because of some parts delays we decided to move ahead and complete the painting of nearly all the engine components (the green stuff). Here are some photos of Pappy hours before the final green spraying began. We removed as many components as possible so they could be properly inspected, repaired, restored, and prepped for a quality paint job. then our Painters (George and Mike at Perfection Body Shop, Emeryville CA) came to our shop today and painted the remaining green components that were left on the engine. As you can see, there was quite a bit of preparation involved :-) Thank you to all the amazing KSW crew for pulling this off!

Photos of the fresh new "Case" green tomorrow!
