My biggest, but I can't lie.

We can tag it on the lower legs here, it just has to be there.
Notice the law enforcement vehicle in the background.

Ok..OK..I hope I'm NOT as lucky as you:yum::yum: This is really funny, because I "almost" asked.....did you take it with your Bow or truck??? Because I was looking for the arrow hole, but I gave you the benefit of the doubt and just thought the hole/blood could not be seen. And I don't mean it's funny that your truck is damaged.
BUT if your going to hit a deer........That"s a pretty nice deer to hit:biggrin:
 
"Wellllllll......it's been a LONG time coming but it's finally here....."

Wetherby,

Great job!
What a beauty!

Are you gonna, actually take it out for a trial run.
Or, is it going straight to a museum?:biggrin:

 
Well.... aside from some fine tuning and trying to find the shifter knob that I now can't find,... I installed the data plate and as far as I'm concerned it's FINISHED So here are the last pics. of this restore.

OMG. Heart-be-still! It's like a time-warp operating room.
Congratulations W! A Masterpiece she is!
 
Wheatherby,
Congratulations on the master build. Thiokol should have had you in the plant from R&D to Quality Control! Hope to see the video of the powder flfing thru the carving turns.
 
Weatherby,

Congratulations on a stunningly beautiful job! A couple of questions:

Will you take this to car shows and the like to display this magnificent restoration?

What's your next project?
 
truly a work of art!!!

Is that your landscaping truck in the last pic? if so, you might want to photoshop the phone number out? hehe

Thanks all you guys & gals.......Bkvail, Wannagoflying, Aksnocat, Blackfoot Trucker, & Mainer. Yes, I think I might put it in a few local shows and in the annual 4TH of July parade in our little town of Paradise here in upper Michigan. And for my next project? I just don't know yet, but I'm sure it will be something:biggrin:
 
Well....my lost shifter knob problem is no more.....Thanks to BOBCAT, he seen the predicament I had gotten myself into by loosing mine and volunteered to send me his original knob out of his 601. I can now say my 601 is complete. I still have not found my original knob, if or when I do, Bob will get one back.
MAINER also bailed me out with my air cleaner problem awhile back.
THANKS to both you guys:thumb::thumb:

That was mighty kind of Bobcat to send you his knob like that.

So this winter, when you're cruising around in the fields, every time you shift a gear, know that that's Bobcat's knob you're grabbing!:w00t2:


:yum:
