    My first go at a restoration. GC 1 and first post

    My dad repainted everything. The frame and skirts. Chevy white. Skirts were orange originally. We tried staining them but they used different types of wood on one skirt so the stain colors changed drastically in on skirt. The Formica wood rails we wet sanded and buffed them with car polish.

    My first go at a restoration. GC 1 and first post

    80% done. Just need to add the under skirts. They look like they will be a real head ache. Going to play on it for a few to make sure I’m happy with everything. It turned out way better than I expected. This forum was a huge help on getting me through the process.

    How to square up a gold crowns rails

    So I’m trying to square up the rails on my gold crown. The manual says to use a carpenters square. I’m using a 2x3’ square. So I have the rails laid out and I’m putting a piece of one by under it to lift the square in the air. I have two sides pretty good I think. There’s one corner I can not...

    Gold crown bracket , where does it go?

    Yah. I think they used what ever material they had available. Do you have any pics of another l bracket for the ball holder. I think that manual is for an older gold crown maybe a 70s model.

    Gold crown bracket , where does it go?

    I’m confused on how the pictures depicts it. It looks like there’s two wood screws in the front and 4 on the top angled going up on my ball holder. Since I have the ball return I think it’s B . I must have filled the holes when I painted it.
