JumperAndSon Posted August 23, 2012 Share Posted August 23, 2012 Here's a little sneak peek:What it looked like 3 weeks ago:What it looked like 3 days ago:Most of the many pictures we took during the restoration are on my dad iPad so as soon as I get those transfered to my computer, I'll make a slideshow video showing the whole process. Also, I plan to take a video of it running and driving.Ben 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
umodelnut Posted August 23, 2012 Share Posted August 23, 2012 Sweet Ben! I remember the old times when there would be a video of you firein her up. I guess when you turn 16, you can drive the B60, and your dad can drive the Cornbinder! It does look real good. Im excited to see the restoration story!

Im excited to see the restoration story!No Vinny, I'll be driving the Two-Stokes of the family. I'll be leaving the four strokes to my dad. And if you think it looks good, wait till you hear it. It sounds sick. We cut the muffler off and put dual 5 inch straight stacks on it. It's awesome.Cousin Ben Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JumperAndSon Posted August 23, 2012 Author Share Posted August 23, 2012 It was actually 2 weeks. We pulled it into the shop on Saturday the 4th and took it to the show on the 18th. That's exactly 14 days. We worked on it almost every day after work and all day both Saturdays from like 7am to 11 at night. Lots of sanding, scraping, wire brushing, wrenching, and money. We were at Watt's Mack at least 8 of the 14 days. We would find out we need somthing, run to Watts, order it, go back the next day to get it and realize we needed to order something else while we were there. But I didn't mind at all because I love hanging out at Watts. It was also really fun to work on the truck with my dad.Ben Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Joe Ditchkus Posted August 23, 2012 Share Posted August 23, 2012 The Binder looks great. Hard to beat the sound of the 2 cycle Detroit. A heavy driver will make a U-Model lean to Port.Joe D. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JumperAndSon Posted August 25, 2012 Author Share Posted August 25, 2012 The truck is absolutely awesome. I really like riding in it. But we took it to Watts Mack on Tuesday to have the brakes tightened up and the mechanic that looked at it said "I don't know how it even stopped." Apperently everything that has anything to do with the brakes is bad. So the wonderful men at Watts Mack are going to make it right.Here's some pics of what it looked like on Thursday:They're still working on the back axle. They haven't even looked at the middle or the front axle yet. But they're gonna make it right and that's all that matters.Ben 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
