As many of you know, I am working on a rebuild 60A for a local customer. It is a "frame-off" job even though the customer is only paying for something much less. I am taking the hit because I need to research the true cost of a frame-off and get marketing info - pictures, info, etc....
Well looks like I landed a paid-for "frame-off" job that will be shipped West. This is for a "serious" specialized ag outfit who needs something small and effective. Cant say much more than that about them per their request. Got to have it done by May so I will be busy. $12K is the agreed price...
AC lives on!

Rich,
If it were only that easy...
Jim,
I am dying to get some pictures out to the forum on the first one I am working on...I have a sheet metal fab company making a lot of new metal. But they are sloooowww; the price you pay for a good price. The frame pieces I have at the blaster are ready but I wont be able to pick them up this weekend. My welding/carpentry/assembler guy is hunting the next two weeks.... Ohh how my patience is being tried...

I would tell you but I'd have to kill you..
but seriously, telling you wouldnt probably hurt, but since the company wants it to be done in confidence, Im not giving away much. I will say its for harvesting something rather unique as combining goes.
Also, looks like I will be able to pick up my sand blasted and primer powder coated parts tomorrow afterall...
