Rick, My son lives in Minnasota and when he was going to fly to my house in Michigan he had to go to Pennsyvania first and then back to Detroit. I told him that he shold of jumped out when he was over the house with a parachute and saved a half of day coming here. See you in Portland  Bill Marcum 8)

Other Things Simplex / Re: All quiet on the western front
« on: May 20, 2012, 05:43:25 PM »
I got all of the small parts sand blasted and primered. I need to tackel the frame next. Sandblasting is slow with the small air compressor that I have. I think I will just sand the fenders. Has anybody use the new paint that is premixed that you can buy at the auto parts stores? I have never used a spray gun , but I am going to going to give it a try. Mike hope you get some one to help with those rafters, and be carefull. Bill Marcum 8)

oil-lamp,
 Sorry that the show was a bust for you. From the pictures it looked like the bikes that were there were pretty cool. What kind of bike was the one with the stock paint and the leaf spring front end next to the Indian? Bill Marcum 8)

Rick,
 I am going to have to take points off for incorrect bolts to the handle bars when I judge your bike. LOL I agree it is your bike do what ever you want . I like the idea of stainless steel but I would go with acorn nuts facing up. Just my 2 cents ( where is the cent button on this key board ) or $.02 worth. Keep up the good work ! Bill Marcum 8)
