well, im on my first restoration. my great grandfather had a farm in the town that i currently live in. in 1951 he bought his super C, he used it as a farm tractor snow plow (i live in nh) and a toy when he was retired. it was parked in my grandmas and at the time my grandpas garage in 1987. i was born two years later and i used to play on it when i was about 5 or 6. i always have loved old cars and trucks and it was something i always wanted to fix. now i lost my grandfather after 3 months of recovery in the hospital. he had a triple bypass that failed. so now hes gone i spend my time in his barn working on his tractor... nothin major yet but im really gonna tear into it this spring (hit 4° yesterday and i packed up and went home) its in rough shape (as far as im concerened) the tube in the right rear has punctured and the water and calsium chloride rotted the rim the other rear is rotting around the stem and the front wheels are flat leaky carb (i just rebuilt it) i need to work on the hydraulics. it will be a learning experience but what am i gonna spend my money on video games? any way im aiming for the engine running this summer but i have some other restorations (cargile cabin cruiser, i told my aunt id work on her 68 ih 1200 pickup)
