thanks Jeff,

few more pics for ya'll .

That IH emblem really sticks out, and looks great! :beerchug:

:beerchug: Man Doug that thing looks better than it did when it was built, great job.

Excuse me while I go empty my drool bucket. WOW!

That is really looking good Doug.

thanks guys for the kind words. it may not be spot on correct, but I dont do spot on. unless its a rare high dollar piece.
its just my version of another way IH could-a / should-a built them.

on the decals , I really dont like the dash decal. a nice original or if there was a way to restore the original would be better.

Now that is sharp!

she's getting hot out its a little after noon and cant really stand to be outside.

I worked on the lever control this morning. all I had was the piece thats screwed into the pump. the stock lever is way to short and you need to lean up to use it. so this is what I came up with. amazing what you can do with a torch.

I can work the lever with my wrist resting on my knee. in the center position the knob is 4" from my knee, when I pull it back its an inch or so from my knee. and Ive climbed on and off , on the pump side and had no issues with the lever being in the way. so Im calling that part done. now for the hydro lines. :bigeyes:

Doug,
Looking real good! Your paint jobs are great.
Regards,
Chris
