[AT] Interesting AC-B

[Gunnells, Bradley R]

I hate to nit pick but I’m curious on what “frame off restoration” refers to. Did he roll it off the trailer frame before he painted it?

If I were going to tear one down to what I consider “frame off” and restore it, it would get all new belts and hoses, wires, plugs and things of that nature. I’d probably paint it before installing those items.  ;-)

But again, that would be for one I intended to keep. If I were buying it to turn a buck on I’d probably cut a few corners. While it might be worth the $1K (not to me) I’d hope he could show some receipts for parts if he’s got the reserve set too high.

Luckily mine are as Farmer would say……still in their work clothes.  :-)  But hopefully one day they might look as pretty as this B.

Brad
