I belong to the Michigan Cruiser's. The drag plate has a few good rubs on the bottom and corners. 8) The club has been around for soom time. Although I've backed off the cars for a while.

Okay.. Here's my 1960 Chevy BelAir mild custom hooked up to my 1964 Ander-ett travel trailer. 8) A pic before I put in swade.

CCR, nope those bars are from my brother. I'm not sure where he got em. But I like em. I did 40 miles today, in light rain. I rode a rail trail by my house. They just opened it up tis year. I hear they plan to make it loner next year and finish by 2010.

Today started out as a perfect day to ride but then after mid-day a storm rolled in and I had to head home. But not after putting down some good miles first.

Thanks guys for the help. I will try it tomorrow. I'm really trying to make this work but I'm thinking it is just to small of a frame for me. I'm 6'2" with a 35" inseam. I would have liked to made a rusty racer out of it but I'm now thinking of using it for what I bought it for. I need to lace...

I got to do some more work on the bike this afternoon. I took the fork off and spilt ball bearings EVERYWHERE!! :roll: Lucky for me I had just swept the garage floor. Cleaned everything and straightened the fork too. Greased everything and put it back together with ALL those bearings too...

It's sad when you don't know about something as cool as that!!!! I had to Goggle "Chestnut Hallow" to find out what it was. I'll have to make a road trip soon. It can't be more then 15-20 min. away. Looks like a guy could spend a few days there and not really see everything.

East of Flint. :oops:

My Spitfire that will get reworked soon. I've been going back a forth with the idea of keeping the patina or not. I've decided to go half and half. I found, by accident tonight that the oil filled hub was made in Germany with an 18 tooth rear gear. Now to get a big one for the front. 8) Gotta...

Hi everyone. I've been hanging out here long enough without paying my dues. SOOOoooOOoo, who gets em? 8) Keep in mind all my stuff is old for a reason. :wink: I've been riding for some time now but haven't build anything yet. Hope to change that soon with my old Spitfire.
