redrooster 83 #126 Posted October 3, 2014 If I do work it, it won't be mowing probably just towing a wagon. Then we will see down the road what it will be used for. I wasn't really wanting a garage queen but thats the role for now! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
redrooster 83 #127 Posted October 30, 2014 I thought about painting the Horse the same color as my Vette until I priced base coat clear coat. Anyhow hear is a photo of them both together (14 vs 400 horse power). 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

km3h 543 #129 Posted October 31, 2014 Finished the seat pan with a coat of rustolem and replaced the seat cover. After getting some of the usual spring chores done I was able to get the motor painted. I made a backer plate for the ignition coil mounting bracket to keep it from cracking the motor cover. uploadfromtaptalk1401291908052.jpg uploadfromtaptalk1401291556825.jpguploadfromtaptalk1401291578078.jpg Please tell me, where did you get the seat cover?

redrooster 83 #130 Posted October 31, 2014 I bought a used seat from Kelly because I wanted an original cover with the embossed logo. I have a friend that does upholstery, he can make a cover but it will have seams unlike a factory molded cover. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

redrooster 83 #132 Posted October 31, 2014 I talked to my friend that does upholstery and he said he could do a seat cover for 65.00. However the cover would have several seams in it. He did a seat cover on a small ford tractor for me and it looks great! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
JT Burkard 4 #133 Posted November 2, 2014 Wow, that really does look nice. You did this in less time than it took me to rebuild my carb, which still isn't done. Bravo. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

56flatbed 29 #135 Posted November 7, 2014 Hey Red, that thing is beautiful! Mine is still in the same disassembled state. We decided in July to build a new home, so guess what is taking priority? What's your next project? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
