I appreciate all the help, tips and advice I've gotten throughout the project.

THANKS!! :beerchug:

Very,very nice...Good job! What's the car in the background?

Looking Fine!
 

Awesome work on the restore!! Nice to see some quality work:beerchug:

Very nice, well done.

:Thanks:

There's actually 3 in there. The one you are referring to is a 2003 Mitsubishi Eclipse, my son's girlfriend's car. She is studying abroad this semester and asked if she could leave it at our house. I put it in to put a maintainer on the battery.

Behind the Craftsman tractor is my '80 Z28 that I've owned since 1981 when I was young and dumb :beer2:

Behind the Mitsubishi is my son's '97 RS Camaro that a young girl pulled in front of and her insurance company totaled:

It cost me $300 to keep it and they didn't even make me get a salvage title :Shhhh:. It still runs and drives great, so it's my next project. :beerchug:

The oil spots on the drive are from my old pickup truck, not the Camaro.

Fantastic job, Lyle! I've really enjoyed following your restoration! :beerchug:

Great job! It looks too nice to use.

Thanks ACecil

Yeah, I'm gonna hate getting that first scratch in it...:bigeyes:

Beautiful Job :ThumbsUp:

That is an unbelivably good looking Cub! You have definitely inspired me to NOT restore my 1650, I can't imagine using something that looks that great! You did a great job.

WOW! Grea job! Where does the line start so I can get mine in done?

Lyle fantastic job on the 1650 restore. I would never want to use it looking that pretty. Maybe someday I will get off my butt and do a show quality resto. :IH Trusted Hand:

Great job on the 1650. Is that a Wide Glide I see in the background?

Softail Custom with drag bars :biggrin2.gif:

Very very nice job. I agree, you have a museum piece, not a worker.

Your info says your are from IL, but I see a Lazer 103.3 poster up. Might you have lived in DesMoines at one time?

I agree with everybody else: Are you really going to get that thing dirty???!! Great job. That will be the mark I'll shoot for when I finally do it right on mine.

Concert at the Val Air Ballroom a couple of years ago...long drive on ice and snow. It's amazing what you will do for your kids. :bash:

that 1650 came out really great looking!!!

I agree that it does look too nice to take out side! Very nice detailing.
Regards,
Chris

Yes Lyle, your tractor looks great.
Good job:beerchug:
