I thought I'd post some more pix of some of the prep work I've done getting ready for assembling these twin 59 larks. (Someday)

New Old Stock Hood Emblems (pictures just dont do them justice!)

NOS Lower Unit prep before blasting

Housing 'Pan' before blasting

New Old Stock Cortland Thompson Tag

HAPPY NEW YEAR EVERYONE!
Be Safe!!

Awsome! I'm the guy with the twin 58 Larks. Don't know if you got my response to the post you sent me. Your response was very motivating. I have several questions for you, and would like to share some thoughts with you. My e-mail address is bjonson@sbcglobal.net
Really nice work- the devil's in the details..............

Very very nice work and the "jewlery" is beautiful. After all that prep work, what kind of paint are you using to finish?

I AGREE!!! CORTLAND THOMPSON OWNERS UNITE!!!!!

I plan on using Peter McDowell's paint, the guy in Canada. His research, expertise, color matching, etc. etc. is so thorough that in my opinion, there is just nothing else out there to even consider.
Thanks for the compliments guys!

I will say it again..... I'm pathetic! I posted these pixs over a month ago - and havent really gotten back to work on them any more since then!
There is just so little time!
