Notes:
I spotted "Big Ed" sitting behind a double-wide at the bottom of a mountain, looking
pathetic, sitting on flats & overgrown by weeds. The owners had it for about a
year and were going to fix it up but were in over their heads. I bought him and towed
him home.
Lots of rust but salvageable. Now, stored inside, slowly recovering from decades
of neglect (last registered in 1964).
