Yeah. In the 1990's that body style just wasnt very popular for fixing up. Everyone wanted the 55-59 and the 67-72. Now the 60-66 are the hottest things going, and people will actually pay more for them if they are all old and rusty looking. Lol!
If you have a spot to keep it, I suggest you start now. Its nice to be able to take your time, do it right, and give your son time to learn everything there is to know about his ride. Also a good time to teach him the value of saving up to buy quality parts instead of buying whatever is cheapest just to get it on the road quickly. When I did mine I was probably 15 when we started it, so there was kind of a time crunch to get it done before I got my license. Ended up having to do some roadside/store parking lot repairs because some things like the transmission/radiator and the old freeze plugs in the motor were taken for granted as being "good enough". Lol!
How you liking the Spartan? Idk anybody who owns one. I've always thought about buying one. I have a couple of their fixed blades and love them...
I love it. It is super smooth and rock solid. The SHF is a large folder. It has a good feel to it. The handle fills your hand nicely, without feeling bulky in your pocket. The stonewashed plain Jane version is cool. I almost wish I had gone the less fancy route and got that one. Then again I think this one will look cool when it is well worn. They got some cool designs. Like the kraken with a pirate ship and an octopus on it. If Busse doesn’t hurry up and release a folder. I would highly recommend a SHF!
Spartan Difensa in S45VN
Yeah, it’s their first limited run of the S45VN in stonewash with black micarta. They only made 37? Got it from their site.
That little Randall is sick!
