Last weekend Dan, Brittney and Carl took a spin on old bikes while I was at working. Dan just sent the pics to me, I think they turned out pretty cool. Brittney makes the 41 look big
Here is my dad riding John's 48. This bike is awesome. I took it out yesterday.

My dad, Brittney and I spent the day getting ready for the first AMCA National Meet in Fremont Nebraska this weekend. We are taking Jim's 39 and John's 48 and a few parts orders!!!!. I am so excited to see all of my friends. AMCA people are the best. Hope to see you guys there!

HEre is the detailed out 48, man this bike is spot on. Miss Brittney did an amazing job detailing it out. My dad signed up to help the AMCA out and be the chief judge for a one year trial basis. He will be doing a judging seminar with Assistant Chief Judge Don D on friday. They are going to use this bike. It is the perfect bike, if you would like to learn more about old bikes and are attending fremont, come and hang out, it is going to be a blast.




our work area looks like a pack of life savers



Here is a fuzzy picture of the 39 and the 38, these bikes look so good together.

John's 48 wiring

I spent the morning at the chiropractor and wiring up the fender on John's 48. There are a lot of twists and turns in the fender, so it is easier to just put one wire through at first.



With the one wire through, you can solder the tail light and brake light wire to the wire going through the fender and then pull both of them through.


Here is the finished product after a bit of pulling and pushing.

My dad spent a couple days on the rear fender for the 48. It is fit up after quite a bit of work.


Check out how nice the fender matches up with the tail flap and the hinge is level. You have to completely dis assemble the fender, then fit it to the bike- one piece at a time.


Nice and straight, and ready to go to the painter.


it is always easier to fit tail lights and fender tips before paint.

cool pictures

When we were in Davneport, we picked up some sheetmetal that we had straightened out. here is Vern's 46, I put the front fender and the tanks on and just set the rear fender on. I will bolt it on solid later in the week, then it is off to paint!!!!


My dad has been working on the rear fender for John's 48. I rebuilt an ignition switch for it and mounted the dash base and speedo. When my dad is done with the rear fender, I will fit the dash, then it is off to get painted flight red.



This dash base is perfect!!! It still has mint original sockets for the generator and oil lights.
