Finally, after all these years, we decided to start a resto project of our own! Here are some photos of a B61 Tandem Axle that we just bought and towed home from Massachusetts. It's in decent shape, solid sheet metal and runs like a champ! I'm gonna try to keep a detailed log as we start the resto.

I was supposed to deliver that load of beams in Birmingham today, but I went to the doctor yesterday and he bladed that cyst and stuck some kind of drain in it, then told me to come back today so he could look at it and change the bandage. So, I tried to get the delivery put off 'til today so I wouldn't have to give the load up, but they said to bring it Thursday. Worked out real well because the doctor told me to come back again tomorrow. I think he's gonna pull the drain thing out and I should be good to go with just a band-aid. It's in a bad spot because I can't reach it or see it. Or maybe that's a good thing!
