Heat's off

Well if you haven't heard yet the Murder Van has been sold. Too much heat for me to handle. Between the surveillance team in the bushes and the Parents Association harassing me in line at the grocery I have had it. That brings an end to what I liked to call the Matte Black Syndicate. Dale and the Murder Van made a fine pair, but things move on. Pat and Graeme picked up the napper van for the Rights of Passage as a shop van. Gonna be hauling kegs to parties and the like now so maybe we'll see it around yet. Hope it serves you guys well.

The devil made me do it

Swap meet run to Regina this morning. As per usual, the local tables were NOT filled with vintage chopper gold, so we turned our attentions to functional items. A guy we bought some stuff from last year was there again and had a few interesting items including this Delkron Case Stroker Shovel motor with a RevTech 4 speed Ratchet top. It was sitting in one of the ugliest Smith Bros. frames I'd ever seen. He also had a few cow pie tranny's in various states of disarray and a few bits and bobs of pan valve stuff. Wheels started turning and before I knew it Brian and I had bought the whole lot as a package investment deal. Hahha. Plans arn't finalized as to exactly what will become of it all, but hopefully we'll make a return on an ultimately small investment.

 Got a chance to hang out a bit with Liam, Andy, Ben, and Willie too which was rad. Great to see those crazy cats. All up we made out alright. trip well worth it.

Just my kinda glavin

Snow is falling.

Yes it's that time where we don't see the outside for 5 months or so. I am guessing that everyone has a busy building season as do I. Been working on lots of bars lately. Made a killer set for Willie the Pan shovel, they are super comfy.






Also am beginning to make the sissy bar.


Going to red deer for the fall swap meet so trying to get some product done so I can supply homies with there building needs. Should be lots of fun Jord and Brian should be there so we'll have to meet up and have a brew.

T.O.

A surprise visit to The Big Smoke got me in for some serious bar hopping and Honky Tonk.

Witches...

...titties are warmer than this. Getting all we can. Today just a short jont to the coffee shop. I rode the freeway from the North end to Brian's in the South and Good GAD that was titties. Whooowaahhh.

 

Gave the old shovel a steam bath to warm up after just incase we head into the freeze and I don't get another chance to blow off the dusty roads Du Keeps made me ride.

 

From Swamp Donkey to Water Mule

 So I did a few interior patches and got the inside painted nice a few weeks back

 The next weekend I got a primer coat on.

 Finally decided on a colour and although I wasn't going with the metal flake some assholes put a bug in my ear and I ended up spending way too much on what has turned out to be the proper metal flake paint.

 It is a full on ameture job but is looking pretty sweet.

 Polished some bits and put them on last weekend.

I am over the hump on this one just some seats to do up get the engine back on and a steering wheel and it'll be ready.... I am thinking I will be done the day the last lake in SK finally freezes over completely. But at least I will free up the garage to get started on the next one on the list.  Next summer is going to be sweet living on the lake!
