Sure took me long enough to get them resized so I could post them. Also note, I said refurb, not restore. I purchased this one two years ago. Completely rebuilt engine last year, repaired front bolster and painted this year. It does run good. If I can get it to post, I have a short video while I was taking it to put in shed. ------------- When you find yourself in a hole,PUT DOWN THE SHOVEL!!! |

Speaking of the T-shirt... Has anybody given any thought to what happens to the Build-a-B down the road a few years? It was a great project at the OPOP, how many remember it after these few years? Dale has been so gracious as to keep it at the museum since we did it, what should happen with it, should the museum ever reach that stage where a decision has to be made? Maybe we ought to be having that discussion now, just so there is a plan? Perhaps this should be another thread? ------------- Good judgment comes from experience. Experience comes from bad judgment.

Registration of this version of image resizer will have to wait. Also need to thank at least a couple forum members for parts that made it possible. Doc Smith and Jim Danforth. Without their help in providing parts, it never would have happened. Video has to wait as well. Got to get to bank, fill up with gas and pickup my grandson from school in 45 minutes. We're headed to Malvern Arkansas to pickup an arched adjustable wide front formy 39 B. It needs a good refurb as well. LOL ------------- When you find yourself in a hole,PUT DOWN THE SHOVEL!!! |

Hey Bob, that WD45 hc looks great. It sure feels good to get one done. Are ya getting ready to get the garden in. It was 54 up here yesterday and it will be close to 50 today. I finally got that unstyled WC, it might show up to the GOTO with a different front end and rear wheels.
Have a good one BILL P
