I thought some of you might be interested in this. Bob VanderPloeg's wife (they have warehouses full of restored ACs, really a great restorer and AC resource) sent me this photo tonight. It was a tractor that caught my attention last visit to his place. These are just three machines where Bob used his imagination on restoring machines he already has other copies of. This is his low rider IB (completely flipped finals and flipped B arch axle) which I believe he made from a B, a baby D21 he built out of an AC 5015 (so it has a diesel engine) and another that I don't recall what it was, a scaled 100 or 200 series.
I'm going to take a trip up there soon and film his whole collection.
