Kawasaki Mule rebuild!

I guess I am on the opposite side of the fence. I seldom modify anything, keep most things stock. I might add on an accessory but almost always make it to where it can be reversed. Just me...

Kind of boring, right?

Eddie, I have the same concerns. I bought this one because it has an open diff, my yerf dog is a solid axle and it tears up the grass when I turn. I'm hoping that the controls are not in the way, if they are, everything is operated by cables, so they can be moved, I don't want to but we'll see.

David, keeping things stock isn't all bad, its definitely easier to obtain parts. I had a Dad that built stock cars and street rods, he taught me how to arc weld and gas weld when I was about 8 years old! I started building chopper bicycles way back in the early 70s and its never quit.

I do build vehicles, but I have more fun with the (Toys).

Sir, you are an amazing craftsman. I wish I has 1/4 of your skills.

Nice work.
I think i have the skill, as i rebuild and restore alot of stuff. But i certainly do not have his perseverance. Id have put this on the back burner long ago, and have moved onto something easier. I only wish i had his drive to continue. Im getting alot lazier as i age.

Somebody put some glass work on that vette! Can't tell from this angle, but appears to be early 70's, late sixties? The hideaway headlights buckets have been wiped smooth.
I have a 66 out in the garage, we dropped a cam and headers and a bigger carb on it, but the motor had already been swapped b4 my roommate bought it in the early 70's up in Boston when the USS Lexington went up there for some work. I recently located a pair of 1966 Chevy smallblock engines, and had them brought down from IOWA! Plan is to build the best one and drop it in place of the 1969 350 that is in the vette.

Its a 69, 427- 475 hp, 4 speed. I did all of the glass work, the front clip is 74ish, not sure exactly, it had 12" wide radial T/A s on the back, that was fun! The doors are stock, not much else. Someone made a drag car out of it, then it was stolen, I helped recover it, thats how I eventually wound up with it. It was half stripped when recovered so thats why it got customized!

I always liked the C2s.
I have had several, I had a C1 (58) years ago, I wish I had it and my 69 back, the rest really didnt do much for me. I like the C2s but the C3 gets me going!
