Pullstart 62,905 #51 Posted February 17, 2022 May 3 of 2020, this 1054 arrived. I knew it would be a special project. I had no clue it would turn out as cool as it did… especially in just 2 weeks of shop time! 3 15 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Aside from the obvious (a tractor scooting across the snow), the jarring thing for me is the radically different engine note. Great vision and great execution.

So many mods (mine especially included) start big and fizzle out over months. This mod was presented as straight forward, and turned out better than I at least could even envision. And done bleeping quick! Very well done! 2 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Pullstart 62,905 #55 Posted February 17, 2022 This one… was actually way more work and took MUCH longer to execute! Big block round hood auto with tons of custom sheet metal work for my wife. We call this “1073” model “Frank” 6 4 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
