Charlie Smith 142 #1 Posted April 29, 2013 Hello all, I've got my first show to attend to this weekend in Kent, (merton vintage show) and today I've been getting my little raider ready thought I would share some pics, (there will be more tomorrow) Got the home made cultivatior out finally, shes a tad rusty but I've been at it with a wire brush ready for a coat or two of paint now... (Pictures will be here tomorrow of it painted) now I just need to keep my eye out for a few wheel horse stickers small enough to fit onto the cultivatior... The little raider will get a quick hose down and wipe tomorrow to get the dirt,dust and oil off, then it will be ready... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
meadowfield 2,756 #2 Posted April 29, 2013 Darn it, you beat me to it! I'm half loaded ready for our first show next weekend... Re stickers, what style and how big? I've a few of the old implement decals in, look at the rear of an early commando, or 7xx, 8xx model. They are about an inch high by 6. Mark Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
