41 FL TT back at it...



I've been picking up hardware and various little parts all summer for the 41 TT. I had these cool old accessory emblems around for years and they are a perfect fit for the paint scheme. Getting the tank strips on has been another story. I had my painter come by and trim the paint on the backing strips to help me get the NOS trim strips to snap on...what a bitch! I am not used to nice paint and shine so this is especially frustrating to me. I need to finally get this bike finished up... it has been on the back burner for about ten years now!

39 EL Tanks and Fender

Mocking it up

The rear fender came with my Dirty Nine 20 years ago.

The tanks I scored at Wauseon between the racing!





I picked up these sweeeet 36-39 EL tanks a Wauseon. Just what I needed! I think I have everything else to complete this thing now. I semi bolted up the rear fender to get a feel for it. I need to throw some paint on the cradle tubes of the frame where it was fixed and then start bolting stuff up permanently. It looks like the engine will get built in the fall.

God Damn the Pusher Man...at least that is what Pat Murphy (the previous reigning champ of the board track class) is thinking! Carl AKA Big Jesus of Pusher Man Racing takes the #1 spot in Wauseon on his latest creation...The Bottle Rocket! When the dust cleared it was Carl Up front. When I asked Pat what happened he graciously stated, "He Kicked My Ass!"
