[dartyppyt]

what you need is a break from the paint fumes

Hmmm! Maybe that's why I have Bronchitis or walking pneumonia?

Nah! Think it is from all the long hours of traveling!

When I get back from Arizona. I'm gonna start on a bunch of gas tanks.

 

[dartyppyt]

Sheet! Got to many Husky's!

I know my shop after winter needs a damn good cleaning!

looks like it needs more lights and some insulation on that back wall maybe a light dusting on the big flat surfaces glad your home safe

 

[oldbikedude]

I could take some of that old Husky clutter off your hands.

Oh no, we leave early tomorrow am.

I have more lights that mount on the sides when I paint like a car etc....
Definately agree it needs more insulation.

I might hit Phillip up and bring back a complete set of 82 plastics.

Like to send them to Ride Pg for full set of graphics:

Front fender tip

Front fender arch

Side panels/ numbers, I have the original Cr 250 decal but want to see if they can reproduce in black, red and silver scheme.

Rear fender

Swing arm

Front plate

Then they would have templates if you guys want some done for yours.

You know! I was thinking that a red Honda Elsinore would look good in the collection!

 

[oldbikedude]

DEAL!

 

[dartyppyt]

Had good relaxing time on vacation till?

I cut across Colorado!

I looked over at Mrs and said, What the heck is that? Hmmm? No lightning tho!

Well I soon found out!

So the winds picked up to around 71 Mph!

Then slammed on the brakes because Tumble Weeds were blocking the road.

They were taller than my truck in spots.

Well, I just rammed through them but later ended up pulling them out of my wheel wells, out from under the truck and some where wrapped around my drive shaft!

So, I ended up driving in this for 3 hours. BTW it was sunny out before this hit! I went from not being able to tell if your on road, to 25 mph, to 35 mph, to slamming on brakes.

I told Mrs that my Gas mileage was dropping bad and that my air filter had to be getting plugged!

I always keep my engine compartment washed and Armour All'd.

This is the dirt I dumped out of my air box and air filter, till i could find auto parts store to put a new one in.

Excellent views while driving.

This is my grill after getting hit for 3 hours of Tumble Weeds.

They were woven in there all way to radiator.

Even had one hit my windshield just right and broke it!

This is my truck bed on inside under bed tarp.

So it gives you an idea of how much dust!

 

[dartyppyt]

[dartyppyt]

Thanx! Everyone A ok! Funny! Not a scratch on truck except for broken windshield.

Had to let you guys see this stuff!

So, in my lifetime! Been through Hurricane,Tropical Storm, Earthquake, Tornado at home, numerous Blizzards and now Dust Storm.

Ha! Adventures with Typpy!
