Well it was a year ago when I got the IB sandblasted and I drove it out of the shop today for the first time. Just long enough to get a picture and to have it rained on. There are still a couple things to do but it's nice to drive it out that first time.

| Very nice! I hope to be up to your skill level someday. Judging by all of the tractors in the background, you are going to be busy for years to come. :-) |

Thanks guys. It was pretty ugly with no useable tin on it when I got it and it ended up being time consuming to sandblast because of the 4 layers/colors of paint on it. ------------- Waukesha B, B, IB, G, styled WF, D15, 615 backhoe, 2-Oliver OC3's, 4 Ford Model T's, 3 Model A Fords, AV8 Coupe, AV8 Roadster, 1933 Ford Wrecker |
