Well I got the rebuilt timer back from Reeco so here is the new Bendix all hooked up and ready to go. I know the handles are not original as mine were damaged but I kinda like the chrome.

Here is one process shot – a new coat of paint on the undercarriage. I did do a lot of cleaning and rebuilt the water valve too.

Washing away Has a nice sound to it. All these machines have their own "personality" that's for sure.

Very nice! I think the chrome handles make it look really nice too. | ||

Congratulations Brian, awesome job on the restoration! Are those Chevrolet parts you used? That door handle looks very familiar... | ||

FANTASTIC machine and wonderful restoration. Such memories I have of these Bendix machines. Whenever I was "lost" as a kid, Mother could always find me at the neighbors' house watching the Bendix. It looks to be in great shape. I would love to have one. Thanks for the story and pictures. Jerry Gay | ||
