I've spent over $3000 to restore some of my cubs. You'd be amazed how stuff adds up. I certainly was surprised when I added it all up. So I won't take the "more money than brains" comment personally...

And that's doing everything but the sandblasting myself. Sandblasting and priming all the parts was over $500. Tires, a couple new wheels, clutch, seat, decals, paint, lights, creeper, gaskets, springs, switches, engine machine work, and parts kit, etc.

I don't doubt he spent $3250.

On the other hand, I wouldn't expect anybody to pay anything close to $3000 for one of them.
