Ha! Reminds me of a vintage airplane my wife restored over several years... a
1931 Pietenpol Air Camper. It was taken down to a zillion parts, restored and put back to full airworthiness and flying status, but the Smithsonian REALLY didn't want us to fly it... apparently there is a high incidence of crash and burn "first time out" on old rare planes. Screw it, too much work to NOT see it fly... It was flown - 10 feet of the ground, no turns, for the length of a 10,500 foot runway, then hung in the "Museum of the Rockies" for all to see (ignore) forever...
Go make chips fly with that baby!

Thats probably the finest 090 I have seen.
Would you mind if I asked how much you had to put into it?
The only reason I ask is that I want to have some idea what I have to look forward to. Cause I gotta have me one o' them.
I suspect she'll perform as well as she looks.

smithie 55-i made sure i didn't pay too much for the parts saw as the guts were what i was interested in,not how it looked.with decent insides bought for cheap(around $400),i started looking for deals on the outer parts.you'd be surprised at the deals that come by when you're not in a rush.when i got close to competion,i took a kick to the n#ts and got the rest from stihl.i figure total about $1500 once the saw was finished.i would have waited longer and something on ebay would have come up,but i got too exited,i just wanted to see the saw finished.happened to take about $600 at a poker game one night which made the decision easier
