Hey - if you use a new pair of gloves, and apply the metal putty with your finger, you can fill the holes and not leave all that extra stuff that has to be sanded off.

I had same scooter back in 1960s. Given to me by my father in Russia. Watching you restore this scooter brot my childhood memories. Excellent restoration. Thank you for the video 👍

[@rustyshadesrestoration]

I'm glad that this video brings you beautiful memories. Thank you for watching!

[@mikemactavish1665]

When putting the grips on the handlebars . . . a small amount of liquid soap helps get them on and when it dries, it acts like glue to keep them in place

[@rustyshadesrestoration]

I didn't know this technique. Thank you!

[@hankcalloway3590]

Even better technique imo: use compressed air. Shoot it underneath the grips while sliding them on, much less mess. Great video

[@rustyshadesrestoration]

I will try this too. Thanks for sharing and watching! 🙂

​@@rustyshadesrestoration any longterm experience for the rims? i like your work, good job all in all but i would feel save with the rim repair, so it would be interresting to know if they hold up, everything else really nice!

[@131dyana]

Wow it looks like a new machine. Loved watching the whole rebuild.

[@lawrencepartridge5805]

Absolutely beautiful -- both the restoration skills and the end result! True craftsmanship -- great use of so many different techniques that were so well executed.

[@rustyshadesrestoration]

Thank you very much!

[@condar419]

This was great! I like the way you structure your videos, with some disassembly, then restoration of those parts, more disassembly, more restoration, etc. I prefer it to complete disassembly, then restoration of everything and then re-assembly. It makes the process clearer to people like me, with little knowledge of the steps involved (plus, I don't forget what a part is for as easily!).

[@rustyshadesrestoration]

Thank you! I'm glad you enjoyed the video. Your feedback it is so valuable to me. Cheers!

[@dorothybobo5157]

I love it!!! Now I’d like to ride it. Beautiful restoration ❤

[@rustyshadesrestoration]

Glad you enjoyed the video! 😃

[@N4sir98]

You should consider removing the tires from the rims and installing a rim band (thin strip of rubber that goes around the inside of the rim) so that the spokes won't puncture the tube. That's why all spoke rims, including these, have that band.

[@rustyshadesrestoration]

I know, I just forgot about it at that point.

[@willianssales7554]

You are an artist. Excellent job. Congrats.

[@rustyshadesrestoration]

I am doing my best! Thank you!

[@MichelMorinMontreal]

A magnificent restoration of an ‘urban mobility tool’... even before the concept was invented! Hats off to you! (I have to admit that when you tackled the wheels, I thought it was a goner!)

[@kylettamiller6769]

Hi! ✌ What a marvelous beauty you've re-created! I can't get enough at looking at the finished scooter. I love the close-ups you give us at the end; they show how perfect you made everything that was almost destroyed. I remember this scooter's time and the popularity of them among the young boys. I know there were millions of memories created with these. And I loved that you went with the original colors. What a knock out compared the that green. 😩 Thank you, thank you, for giving us insight into this beautiful piece of the past. Blessings, and take care. 💟

[@rustyshadesrestoration]

Thank you so much Kyletta. I'm glad that you enjoyed the video! Have a great week!

When bluing do you have to let sit in oil or lubricant afterwards or is just bluing ok?

[@rustyshadesrestoration]

It is good to let it for at least 8h in lubricant, otherwise some oxyde can appear again.

[@rustyshadesrestoration]

For the best result: cleaned well, acetone, bluing, lubricant/oil.
