I've put a couple hundred miles on in the last week. It needs some gears pretty badly. It's super tall. I stalled it pulling into yales driveway.
There's a carshow in hico in a couple weeks. I'm gonna take it down since everywhere I go in it, it draws people to it.
I'll start on the bodywork pretty soon. Plans are to paint it flat white with a flat black roof so that it still looks like old faded paint.

Took it to the Bodyshop to get the frame pulled back straight. It was an inch and a half out square.
Next will be a fuel cell and fix the trunk floor, a 4 wheel alignment (it has adjustable rear control arms) and finish up the exhaust.

I had a KTM 520 with the number 300 on it. I sold it to another guy who then started posting under ktm300racer. He was a buddy but a dipshit. I came up with ktm300hater to bust his balls. The screen name has stuck with me.

Story behind screen name? My last bike was a '97 KTM300EXC, sold it and got out of the sport in '99- loved it, God I miss that bike.

Those photos take me back to the late 60's when, as a little boy, I would go next door to my neighbor's house and watch him work on cars and truck and try to help him. I probably drove him crazy with the million and one questions I asked him. He was a shadetree mechanic in the literal sense because he worked on his cars in the shade of his pine trees in his back yard. He always had Fairlaines, Galaxie 500's, F100's in his back yard in some state of repair. I think everytime I saw him, he was covered up to his elbows in oil. I guess the warning they put out about used motor oil causing cancer is true because he ended up dying from it.
Have fun with your project.

I always liked these cars. I really like the 63 and a half and these cars. There is a 66 post car about a 1/2 mile from my house and its an old police car. Not a spec of rust and the old guy will not sell it. Its just sitting under a lean to.

Interesting trailer floor, we use that stuff at work on platforms but it's just for foot traffic.
They have a couple small spots about as big as a silver dollar that are rusty, but the trunk is pretty much gone because the guy I got it from left about 30 pounds of nails all over the trunk and once the nails started rusting, the trunk pan soon followed.
