Doll redo
« on: February 27, 2020, 08:56:07 am »
This is a Doll 364 I believe that I picked up off of Ebay. Wasn't very pretty at the time but it had potential.
 This had been posted on another forum that I used to be on and just thought I'd revive one of my better turn outs.

Steady lines on the pinstripping.  Hard to do.

Well done!!

A great transformation. The old girl looks ready for another 70-80 years. Excellent job.

 Yes I have Charlie, about two years ago was the last time. The first time I fired it up after the cleanup and paint job, the 25-30%
of the reddish paint on the bottom of stack turned black. Nothing else went bad.

Well done with the pinstriping. I have a Doll 504 roller which will need pinstriping some day (previous owners repainted it many moons ago:) I have been putting it off until I am confident of achieving a near factory look.
