Cold weather finds me working on indoor hobbies.

Been too cold for too long. Decided to dig out one of my winter projects. A 1952 Doepke road grader that I had picked up at a local auction for a few bucks.It was a rusted, twisted hulk when I saved it, and after sandblasting, straightening, filling, sanding, priming, sanding, priming, sanding some more....painting ,assembling.....today I got the new decals and .......

....its a beautiful thang!
This monster is 27" long and wieghs 12lbs...a very cool old toy and a very rewarding hobby!
