Thank you everyone for your nice comments on my “Lucky Day “ drums. I hope I am not breaking any rules by starting another thread, I just thought it was a good way to let you guys know they are done.
As you can see I have them all polished up (except for the snare) and looking good. They came out just amazing, that Novus 2 product is wonderful stuff, the pictures just don’t show how beautifully they shine. It was a pretty easy task. I basically stripped the hardware, soaked it in Krud Kutter over night then rinsed it off, towel dried then polished with Blue Magic. As mentioned, polished the shells with Novus 2, then novus 1. Scraped and sanded the old paint off the bd hoops then painted with rust-olium satin black.
I said in my other thread there were no missing parts, I lied. There are no legs (spurs) for the base drum and no bracket to mount the tom, and no tom mount. So that’s why the tom is on a stand. I will try the tom using a stand for a while but eventually I would like to get the parts to mount the tom like it was intended to be. Well, I have to get to tuning these up and start playing. Btw, for the first time I wanted to lube the bearing edges, which were in great condition, so I used some Johnson’s paste wax on the edges. Will that do any good?
