Nice job man. You've only got 3500 in it? If so, I think you did REAL good.

I was with the other poster for a short bit as to which was which. My brain says first pic is/should be before but you've done a good job of cleaning her up. I like your new paint. More pics in the sun please.

There was no doubt in my mind!

Ok, Iceman, it appears the gauntlet has been thrown. If I was closer to ya I would be happy to get some serious shots of yer sled..... But..... I gotta be to work and IL is a little too far to ride andmake it back in time... LOL

C'mon Man! Take a five minute break from riding her and get us some glamour shots! I know, I know, my Springer is due for an oil change and is a bit dirty, but evertime I go out and get ready to start polishin, I say "Frick it!" and go riding somewhere...... I know the feeling.... But the animals want pics!!
