Another " I'm Bored " Restoration!

[moonpup]

I still haven't found my next Z resto project but while snooping around on craigslist, I found this old "vintage" hand wringer. I'd been looking for one of these for years and couldn't pass this one up despite it's rusted/nasty condition. (plus the $8 price was too good to pass! )

My dad had one for years while I was growing up and I remembered how great it was to wring out the chamois and towels after washing the family cars/boats.

So. after a run thru the bead blast cabinet and a little paint, here's the before and after pics.

Those things are fun.

I remember when I had one with a 5 HP lawnmower hooked up to it.

That wringer was so cool.

It would ring just about anything.

Then one day ouch.

:eek: Your kidding,.... right.....? ? ? ?

Ya was just kidding.

Those wringers are the coolest to have around, if I still lived in Houston I would only head over to Mikes to wash the car.

PS looks great Mike
