Well it looks the way it does cause it was a mess when I got it. The tin's had been folded in half and the grill was torn off. it had set for several years and the engine had been stripped. carb, intake, air cleaner and shroud had been robbed.
I decided to do it like a rat rod and keeping true to that I made all the extra stuff out of junk I had laying around and I've got a buddy that had some dimond plate he didnt want and once I got started I couldnt stop. I'll get some more pic's up of the other stuff thats on it. I've had some people that think I ruined it but the way I see it, it's not a antique.
It was build in 1984 so it's not an IH and it spent the first twenty years of it's life mowing the rest stop on I29 and I think the ole dog kinda like the attension it gets now.
Everytime I mow with it I'll see someone stopped in the street stairing at it. I've had them pull in the drive and look it over like it's a nice car or something.
