Now that I have your attention....I'm wrapping this long overdue restoration up today. Still need to get a pair of lights refinished, but they are packed away in storage while we move.

This is the Squire 9 I picked up off of Mr Perry Spring of '11. I had VanSickle color match the paint, with some added metal flake. I'm thrilled with the finish. VERY durable, with a nice shine (dried enough to handle in probably 4 hours with hardener). I was thinking a quickie resto on it, but ended up into it deeper than my Big Ten.

Bronze suits Maynard's old Carryall, don't you think?

I just slapped the rest of it together today, and will fire her up and tinker tomorrow, if time allows. I just needed it rolling as we're getting ready to move out in the next couple weeks.

Thanks guys...I really enjoy working on them, but where I we're living now, and with all that's going on, it can become a real pain to get work done. I have more plans, but they'll be on hold for a while. This little guy is on deck:

      Site programming updates were made 3/23/2024. As a result some things have changed including dues payment options. We will continue maintenance and work with technicians to regain credit card payment option and clear up minor challenges. On positive it appears attaching pictures is now easier. Good day. Gene
