Nice job, love the finish. What happened to your old motor? Did I miss a thread about that??

The old motor was wearing out bearings way to fast-----so I posted a tread here---everyone told me to stop rebuilding the motor and buy a new one. About $400.00 later we have a new motor.
Finish on the inside---just a thin coat of sanding sealer. I felt that's all it needed.

That is very nice! Was that from a burl that was around the trunk or a burll off the side of the truck?

Adam ---that was about 12 foot in the air growing on the side of the trunk. There where two of them----I am still working on the second one.
