1953 S-3L Restoration
see how badly the manifold has been both bent and cracked |
the center mount and both support braces were also broken off |
the manifold is straightened and parts are welded back in place -- |
the welding is complete and now the filing and texturing begins |
the finished product is a truly beautiful horn |
a close-up of what was once a beat-up, useless manifld |
a very rare 1953 S-3L has been saved from the scrap pile |
the two-piece welded bells are original to and appropriate for this horn |
