The ULTIMATE Taco 100 Restoration
2 months ago I started what I hope will be the ULTIMATE Taco 100 -
Taco Joe let me use his powder coater and, more importantly, his colors, both the purple and the motor dark grey.
I bought a chrome side cover.
All the original bolts were re zinc plated.
The shock cups were re-chromed, the bodys were powder coated black, as was the rear hub, gear and brake drum.
The wheels were polished and clear ceramic coated.
The engine, deemed to likely be the ORIGINAL engine by Taco Joe and Tom Maloney (tomsprops on the forum) will now be sent to master B&S mechanic Bill Kraft in Indiana for a complete rebuild.
The seat was rebuilt using the original cover.
The tires are the originals, although possibly not the first on this Taco.
To say I am excited about this one would be a huge understatement.
