The tub on the Super Swamp Fox that you picked up cleaned up pretty good!

Thanks! It was a very tedious process...

That's a lie. It was a can of WD-40 and an old rag. It looked great when I picked it up. With some good wax and a buffer, I bet it would be blinding. The gel-coat held up well over the years. Repairing dings in the gel-coat is pretty easy with fiber glass resin and pigment from rustoleum red-brown primer. I wish the inside looked as nice.

Dude, that looks great! We'll have to have a SSF build party soon. I think between the two of our machines we'll be able to figure out what we need to in order to get both of them trail worthy. I've got the correct T-20 bracing all in tact, but I see you need some. I don't have a seat frame, but I'll be able to get the dimensions off yours. I don't have a front floor pan, but you do. These rebuilds shouldn't be all that difficult.......hopefully!

Here I thought you had to go out of town on company business. Instead you snuck out real quiet and snatched that machine up, came back and said, hey everybody...look what I found

Are you and JP in a race or something? Anyway, nice looking machine there Mike. You know, with all that room in the back of that thing maybe you should consider one of those outrageous motor transplants.

I have the brackets and the linkage and the shifters, but I don't think I'm going to use them, or the front floor pan, or the seat frame, or the laterals..... any of it. We'll work something out.

I'd love to! I don't have a clue what will be going in it. Lots of sitting back and pondering to be done before I get too steeped in the project. With so much missing or needing to be re-done, it makes sense to start with a blank slate, and think about how to make it better.

The body looks great, you really have a clean sheet to start with. When you and JP are done, I'll have to bring my SSF North for a group ride. Maybe Don will meet us as well. Any other SSF owners out there interested????

I should have the bugs out of mine by then and would be all in for a group ride.

I think I need to elaborate on how well the Kubota idled. This thing would run so smooth and at just a few hundred RPMs that you could stack champagne glasses on it and they wouldn't topple over......kind of like that old Lexus commercial.

That's a heck of a road trip! I thought 700 miles was a heck of a trip to pick it up! OK, I'm in.... Maybe we could find a nice riding place mid-way. Some place new and exotic. Hmmm....

Count me in too!
