I like the cowl mounted fuel cell!

Custom piece and no need for a fuel pump. Just have to stop at every gas station on the way across town!!

I always liked these cars. I really like the 63 and a half and these cars. There is a 66 post car about a 1/2 mile from my house and its an old police car. Not a spec of rust and the old guy will not sell it. Its just sitting under a lean to.

Those photos take me back to the late 60's when, as a little boy, I would go next door to my neighbor's house and watch him work on cars and truck and try to help him. I probably drove him crazy with the million and one questions I asked him. He was a shadetree mechanic in the literal sense because he worked on his cars in the shade of his pine trees in his back yard. He always had Fairlaines, Galaxie 500's, F100's in his back yard in some state of repair. I think everytime I saw him, he was covered up to his elbows in oil. I guess the warning they put out about used motor oil causing cancer is true because he ended up dying from it.

Have fun with your project.

Story behind screen name? My last bike was a '97 KTM300EXC, sold it and got out of the sport in '99- loved it, God I miss that bike.

I had a KTM 520 with the number 300 on it. I sold it to another guy who then started posting under ktm300racer. He was a buddy but a dipshit. I came up with ktm300hater to bust his balls. The screen name has stuck with me.

[razrbak]

Funny, thanks.

Took it to the Bodyshop to get the frame pulled back straight. It was an inch and a half out square.

Next will be a fuel cell and fix the trunk floor, a 4 wheel alignment (it has adjustable rear control arms) and finish up the exhaust.

I've put a couple hundred miles on in the last week. It needs some gears pretty badly. It's super tall. I stalled it pulling into yales driveway.


There's a carshow in hico in a couple weeks. I'm gonna take it down since everywhere I go in it, it draws people to it.

I'll start on the bodywork pretty soon. Plans are to paint it flat white with a flat black roof so that it still looks like old faded paint.

I think that was a ttr 225 I was working on for a customer. I had everything crammed in the shop because I was closed that day if I remember right

Funny how the paint gets slowly worked off from oils from our hands, or sweat, or both. Look at the DS rear quarter (fuel door and along the quarter where you might rest your right hand if you pumped with the left hand) and the DS door, both where hands would touch frequently. PS is not the same level of paint wear. I guess it could have sat in a way that favored the DS getting more sun, but my money is on theory # 1.

Gawd, I would love to have that car. I would have never spent money on a 347 though... that would be a 383 or some other 351 stroked variation.

Diggin the pro-star look.

When you want to wrench on something, you have to hose it down liberally with PB Blaster/WD-40 the day before; gotta plan the work out.
