Part 2/8:
Using local materials, such as Alabama parts, he fabricated a cover and secured bumpers to protect the equipment. This demonstrates his resourcefulness and dedication to maintaining the original aesthetic and functionality. His plan for the next step involves painting the restored case, with a surprising choice of matching color—possibly utilizing JB Weld, a popular epoxy known for its durability. He humorously considers covering the paint with shellac to give it a polished finish.
Throughout the process, he maintains a cheerful attitude, joking about taking vitamins and making light of his own antics. He exhibits pride in his work, emphasizing that the restoration work is almost complete, just waiting for the final touches.
