Progress on the 66

Today was a fairly good day even though I’d spent most of it running the roads. Along with restoring this sewing machine, I’m having a car restored and wanted to check on the progress at the upholsterer’s. My car hadn’t been touched and the guy was out so I couldn’t talk to him about when he might be able to start on it.

Between working and the rain I hadn’t had much time to touch the sewing machine till today. I was determined that I was going to get at least the first coat of paint on it. I’m using a Professional quality Rustolium in gloss black. I had bought some painter’s tape so I could mask off the areas that I didn’t want painted but couldn’t find that. Then I went looking for my Exacto knife and can’t find that either. So I found my husband’s masking tape and the razor knife he bought me to do what I needed.

I won’t be able to get back to the machine until Sunday, I hope the weather holds!
