After a 715 mile road trip yesterday I finally got third loader home

The man the mythe and legand Shaun Eberdt finally after 3 years got to meet briefly

some of his play toys

Only there for a few hours but seemed like a life time , very nice folks can't wait for a return trip hopefully with better weather so we can stay and visit longer

Rain fog, impeding storm we decided best to head for home.

Just a note: 

anyone wanting to go thru Chicago to either Michigan or Wisconsin with a trailer

9 tolls @ $39.70

I've always took 80 to 39 north and only paid one toll $4,55, return we decided to take 90 to 355 south, after figuring up tolls and time spent starting and stopping believe it just as fast and not to mention the traffic

Lloyd - now you must have more loaders than tractors!  LOL!

No still more tractors, someday I'll count and see where we set as far as tractors

A couple are only short term, if you can believe that

'74.  

49,000 original miles.  Needs a rear bumper cover as the old one is degrading to the point where its like peanut brittle.  Just a simple L-48 but it's a four speed car.

Sold a '56 WD-45 & a '53-1/2 Super M to buy that car.  Family likes this better.

Nice!

They are fun & I don't care what negative things people say about corvettes.  Bottom line is everyone turns their heads when you drive by in one. I especially like the C3 style because I love the curves!

Man don't tell me I got to buy a Vette to keep up with the Jones's 666sm00

No way.  You could always buy a Che-Vette instead of a Cor-Vettefm

I am 6'4" and 250...I want a Vette but there is NO WAY for me to look good getting in and out of these cars. I need to fall onto the ground and then stand up.  Instead of impressing the ladies all I do is make them laugh! :S

Haven't received any calls on Legacy so think I'll just change loaders and keep.

The loader that's on tractor now will be for sale

The removable hardtop or t-tops are great for taller folks. dOd

I get it! My son is 6'4" & wears a size 15 shoe!.  He crams himself in that car & has barely enough room to use the clutch, brake & gas with those feet!

You hit the nail on the head about falling on the ground to get in them.

Try that loader yet Lloyd?  Interested in hearing your thoughts after you compare.  

You are a lucky guy to have had the chance to meet shaun.  I'm not sure how you ever got out of there though...our 'hey, got a minute?' phone calls last an hour+!  4i

Going to swap them this weekend. Will try and have info, 

Shaun bought the loader for me, was just out that way not to long ago to Smilin Sams

will be making another trip back out but after the winter is gone, unless there's a buy I can't pass up.

We have those conversations and love everyone, most times I'm the one not wanting to hang up.

Didn't get loaders swapped yet but took stock weight box and reworked it to fit 3 point.

Made it so that if someone wants to mount as it was stock they still can.
