Here you're going to find some of vehicles that clutter up the driveway and keep me eternally poor.
Stuntmekanic . too many visits in the Snap-on truck |
In the mid '60s my grandfather, a diesel mechanic at the Steep Rock Ore mines retired and left me a small tool box with a snap-on socket set and a few wrenches. Thirty some years later, I still have most of the original tools dated in the forties plus a couple of more. A few drawers are full of original factory BSA, Triumph and Norton shop tools. Harley and jap tools plug up a few more... never enough room. I parted with my milling machine and lathe a few years back, sadly missed, for a lack of parking space. I've managed to keep my 300 amp TI.G. in storage. One of these days there will be room for it all in one place.

This really isn't my sturgis, the real one is still waiting for it's paint. Ya reading this Andre!
Picked this up back in '85 when I was working at Foothills H-D in Red Deer AB. It's a road bike with a bit of chrome, more attention to keeping the mechanicals updated than knock 'em dead looks. Should it be worth mentioning it's black. Dinosaurs live on!

T-bird sport. Must see twenty for every one of these on the street. Doesn't attract any unsolicited attention as it quietly rumbles by . It happily accepts all discarded hi-perf 'stang parts I can find. Now we're looking for a 8.8 rear and some five lug front hubs so I can fit up some 17" wheels. Some reason the stock 7.5" rear is making some noise. ???
