Ed Kennell 40,319 #5276 Posted January 9, 2023 Did a little taxidermy repurposing. I buy these old mounts for cheap at auction for the form, eyes, and ear liners that I reuse to mount my deer. These items cost well over $100 bucks today. The antlers are sold to crafters that make knife handles, chandeliers, etc. Takes me about an hour to disassemble one. 1 5 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

19richie66 17,560 #5281 Posted January 10, 2023 Finally got my dad’s C-175 out and returning it to original. It’s the one in my avatar but he had changed a bit since the picture and by the time I got it. It will be going back to Florida next month and my son will get it. Maybe he’ll get the bug and restore it one day. 3 6 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I'd put it right on the side of the frame where I'm going to see it every time I get on the tractor. Remind me of this bunch of..... 🙂 4 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
