Comb the desert!

I know I said this before but I really am finishing
the paint on my Shovel and I should have some
pics at the end of the weekend.

The Two Timer



In case anybody missed this one The Two Timer.

Charlie's

What have you to sell?
Charlie's is the best place to get quality used
tools. No chinese junk here! I found out I can spend
hours and tons of gas driving all over town looking
for something I can't find only to walk across the
street and find it at Charlie's. The store has been
here for a long time and is now run by Charlie's
grandsons I believe. They even have a hand full
of Whitworth wrenches, try and find that at
your local Ace Hardware.

Triumph Day One

This is a very loose mock up of my next build
a 58' Triumph preunit. David Bird hardtail with
0 stretch 1" drop. I'm so tempted to go 18" in the
back and 21" in the front but it just looks right
with the 16" and 19". Let me know what you think!
Gonna be a tiny, tiny bike.

Shovel Project

Its coming together slowly, I really need to
get on it and paint the tins.
Stay tuned for a crazy puzzle paint job.

Puzzle Box

Po Man's Paint Booth

After my fisheye disaster the first
go around, I think I have everything under control
Got the frame and swingarm painted
along with a dozen other pieces.
The tank and fender have all the body work
done and are sitting in self etch primer
waiting for my attention.
Stay tuned!

Shovel Project

Before and after I tore it down.

Shovel Project




I made this bracket to hold the Capacitor up under the
tank. I wrapped it in a piece of rubber and it is held in 
with a zip tie. I plan to ground it on one of the mounting
bolts. I also drilled several holes in the bottom
so any moisture would drain.

Vantastic!


I think this is a 1969, either way its
incredible! I'm back on the van hunt,
maybe trade the dodge.
