Excellent job Barry! I also have a 48 FCub. I'm just outside Ottawa, Canada, where are you located?

Good evening I am located in Kingston Had driven by the cub on the way to work in Bath and like the puppy I had to bring her home Carpenter by trade so it has been a learning and exciting adventure The members have been a major asset as they have helped direct me as I stumbled thru and they have done it with gentility Good luck with your 48 If ever to be down this way pm I live in mid town and there is a Timmys near by and a cub in the garage Barry

Here's an alternative that I used on a parade float that I had to bring up the highway from town in the dark after our lighted Christmas parade this year:

Had to take Gert for her Sunday ride down to a customers house His at her had been a sales rep for Internatioal in late 30's

at her should read father

Looks like Gert has adopted quite the family!
From fading pink to shiny red and from nearly abandoned to now loved.

I also like the additions of the toolbox, front hitch, integrated step, and wheel weights. Well Done!
