They were originally red, but sun faded to orange. I'm painting it red/w black accessories.

Shaft still standard and bearings were in good shape. Cylinders cleaned up real good with light honing. All the pistons are back in, except one. Something dinged it up when the head or whatever blew. Off to the junkyards to find a .30 over high altitude. Anyone have one/w rings?
Finding new parts is history, so it's junkyard shopping for them. If I can get a piston, hope to be running in stand in a couple of weeks.

If & when she does run, I'll get my son to post a video/w sound if he can. They have a sound all their own.

Thanks for all the imput.
