Dave,
Got home at 6:45, ran into a little rain, sure can make good time in SD, set my cruise at 80, and then in MN took it down to 75, didn't get passed very often. Got 98,629 miles on my bike now, shucks in another 1400 miles it will be a brand new 1988 Venture with zero miles on it.

Tom that's great! I haven't heard of many bikes with that kind of milage on them. My 89 softail had 65,000 and that's considered a lot. I had a 72 750 Honda that had close to 50k on her when I sold it after a pretty bad accident. The Harley's had some top end work, but the old Honda was just stock original, with only new chains and oil every 3-4 months!
Riding in the rain sucks! I tried to outrun a lightening storm in Utah for 2 hours, until I gave up and sought shelter!" "No matter where you go, there you are!" Steve.

Took some time this afternoon and evening to make some cuts on the Bronco.... Instead of playing the custom windshield game I'm going to just lay the posts back and use the stock dimension glass....done it on a few other chops, with a windshield like the Bronco has, there's no wrap around part to deal with so it's a fairly straight forward deal. My initial cut was a bit light intentionally to leave room to trim and fit the pie cuts on the A-pillars...Still have to trim enough to bring the roof down another 3/4" to achieve the desired overall roof height of 52" with a 5 1/2" ride height. I've got Tom's coupe in the big garage and the Bronco in the little garage, enough room for a skinny guy to work but that's about it. I'll try to clean the place up a bit and get some pics of the progress this weekend....Yesterday is history, tomorrow is a mystery, Live for Today!

Though some have said that some of my builds only offer proof of excessive drug use in the 60's!!!!!!

Well I have not posted anything in a long time, but I finally started tearing into my 1966 Ford F-100. I decided to start by rebuilding the carb, it is the original carb on the original engine, I successfully rebuilt the carb and like a moran I decided to tighten the rear right bolt before tightening the rest and broke the seat, so I am waiting to raise the $400.00 to by another one. Today life was bad!
