Ahh yes, reminds me of the old days. lol

I don't have any old license plates, but I certainly do have plenty of empty beer cans around

I was thinking of cutting up some beer cans and massaging them to shape to slip over the opening.

Were woodmanse painted white? If so it looks like mine still has some original paint on it

Yup, the busted one I have is still half filled with the tower punch circles and squares

I also stopped by Wayne's on the way back after getting the wheel and he had just the counter weight for an Elgin wonder. But it looks the same as the busted weight on my Tip Top so he forced me to take it!

Yes I got those along with the tail from Steve Adams a while back

Now my old steel star can finally be complete!

Some are riveted, some are bolted, must have had some sails replaced at one time

It only took two attempts, my best record yet!
