Nice '70! What color is that?
Judging by that picture I would guess there isn't anything under that hood.

Great looking shop. I'm jealous of the snow blower on your Cub, I could sure use it now. The MB is very nice too.

Thanks for the welcomes! The Chevelle has a 355 with Edelbrock Performer RPM heads, a Crane solid cam, and Holley 650DP. I've had it for 16+ years and it took me 8 to do a frame off restification. I never got around to putting gears in, but it turns mid 13's/100+mph in the quarter with 3.08 posi rear end. The color is custom. Would not do it again, since repairs will be almost impossible. The base is Dark Montana Blue with 3 mid-coats of violet pearl and then cleared. It looks almost black at night, dark blue in the shadows and then pops a "purpley" metallic in direct sunlight.
The tractors became a hobby since the cars became too expensive to play with and I could still fill my painting and wrenching jones.
I picked up the blower and rebuilt it this summer. Have about $300 in it and it works like a champ. It will get blasted and painted this summer.
The MB is sadly gone. I got it for a song from a guy that worked for me. I had to replace the floor boards and exhaust for it to be safe to drive. Drove it for about 4 years and decide to put it on CL. Had a bidding war between a lady in Chicago and a guy in NYC. NYC won, but I won more
The workshop is a mess, since I had to put the Cubs in there for the winter. I'm in the process of re-organizing my tools and shops (all of them) so I can keep them organized.
Great site!
