stevasaurus 22,229 #1 Posted December 5, 2017 My brother, Mike, has had a C-100 since it was new. It still looks like new, but it has a 12 hp Kohler in it now. It is an 8 speed. Well, he just picked up this 1979 C-121 Automatic, and he really loves it. Tons of power, no dents and the real patina. The faded paint was getting to him, so he tore it down and painted the whole thing...in about 3 weeks. He is going to call Terry to get the stickers for it. It looks real good...enjoy the pictures. 19 3 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
stevasaurus 22,229 #2 Posted December 6, 2017 It took me a full day to straighten out the pictures. They were taken with a cell phone and sent to my E-Mail. Needless to say, they were all sideways and upside down. I needed to save them to my computer, turn off the "read only" button and unblock my computer from trying to protect itself from files from another source. What a pain and a ton of clicking with the mouse...but I got there. I just thought I would put this in the thread for all you guys that run into this issue...and for me to find when I run into this again. Mike did an excellent job on that horse though. 8 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Might have been a little easier if you were running something other than Windows 95 Steve I thought the 121 looked pretty nice the way it was. I bet he keeps the 100 inside too. Nice looking pair of C's that's for sure. For some reason after Dan and I looked at a guys collection I got a powerful hankerin for a C now. 2 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

ztnoo 2,298 #11 Posted December 6, 2017 (edited) Interesting transformation! Don't even get me started on the whole cell phone pic thing. Admittedly, they take great photos, but most of the time the user has NO CLUE of the file size, then attaches it to an email. Not just one, but lets say 4 or 5......and suddenly the file size of the email is 8 MB! Drives me nuts people taking pics and having no clue about the bandwidth they are using up. And most know little or nothing about photo editing to begin with....... I can fully understand your frustration Steve. I've been there a few times myself saving the original(s) to file, and then editing it (them) down to a reasonable and manageable size. Ggrrrrrr.....
