Thanks Todd, I was camping out and happen to be up late:biggrin2: and the handle and Gannon will be yellow except the cutting edges and shanks those will be black, still waiting on a piece then off to get it welded.:beerchug:

Finally got the piece back from the metal shop, time to get it welded.

Cool deal, Nick!

Thanks Allen, can't wait to get it done!

Okay Nick, like we're supposed to know what that piece is for, and where it goes. Jeepers.:bigthink:
See, your supposed to be explaining what you are doing here, so we, your audience can follow along with the build...:biggrin2:

Nice Gannon. Is the original color white? And I need a spring for mine, where could I pick one up at? I would also like to have the decals. I know, I know, I am too old to want so much! Great job on the restore. Keep the pictures coming so it will motivate me to get mine done.

Lol thanks guys, the hardware store is where I got the springs, and the decals you can order online, that piece is for the lift straps to raise it up and down.

Update: just got the Gannon all finished being welded, came out great, just picked it up, pics later.

Here it is, I think it turned out great, time to start priming!:beerchug:

Started priming it!:beerchug:

Very nice, Nick!

Thanks Allen!

Got a bolt in there for the lift straps, I had to drill the hole for the cottar pin.

The lift straps.

Getting closer, Nick.

I know, getting excited for it to be finally done, it works pretty good too, thanks Allen!

Long awaited update:
Today I finally got to work on the Gannon again and got most of it primed, will finish it later today, it's getting there!:beerchug:

Looking good, Nick!

Thanks Allen!

Just about done priming!

Another pic

Top notch work there Nick.:beerchug:

Looks real nice Nick. What machine will it be mounted up to? Now you need to get some of these. http://www.clickitandstickit.com/gan...-width-decals/

Thanks guys, I appreciate it, I had it on the 169 because of the hydraulic lift so it may stay on there, thanks for the link Todd, I will be ordering those along with a serial tag, I am painting it cat yellow and the cutting edges and shanks gloss black, should match the cub good!:beerchug:

Great work, Nick!

Thanks Allen, I appreciate it!

Nice job Nick!! :beerchug:
