Hey YamaGod, What a sweet collection you have going. That convertible is the bomb. It's like a fine piece of art, It's not just what you see on the canvas, it's what comes to mind as you look at it. When I see any show car, I look at it and say, yeah that's nice. Then I think about what else can be done; nothing they are finished with it.Then the excitement fades away,but when I look at that old convertible truck of yours it leaves me thinking about it for hours. Man , I'm as excited for you as if it was my own. I had a few minutes earlier today to get on here and I just had to look and see what else had been posted. I haven't stopped thinking about it yet, just like that sleeper of YamaHeads. wild foamy, Never let a thing like age get in the way of anything that you really want! I say, if you see something that you can afford to buy, just do it. Don't ever let anything put a time limit on making any dream come true. You may find out one day that you are running out of time and then you may have missed out on a dream. Never let that happen in your life! Find one and just work on it now and then. Then when your ready to take that first ride, it will be one of the most exciting moments in your life. Man, I can hardly wait to see what is posted next! Later friends!

Hey Tylerman, Nice bike. Don't get discouraged you'll figure it out sooner or later. That's all part of the fun of working on something old. Ever think of taking the kick shaft to a machine shop and let them build the metal back up with welds and then re-spline it? Keep at it! I look forward to hearing about the good times to come! Later friend!

Hey YamaHead, Nice rides! That truck looks like a true sleeper. I bet you have a blast with that! A Bug for a first car is very wise, easy to work on and much safer than a sports car. The reason I say that is because one of the town locals bought his kid a 350Z and then acted surprised when his son totaled it and lost his life. Very sad but that's what happens when parents give their kids what they want and not what they need. I'm not saying that it cant happen in any car but personally I think it was a bad decision on the fathers part. About my Chevelle; when I was much younger, I had two 66's and I used to see this 67 around Hopewell ( a near by town ) it was a true little old lady's car. I kicked myself for years for selling my 66's and then when a buddy of mine spotted the 67 for sale, I jumped on it. Less than 50,000 miles and everything is there, all original. The only thing I have replaced is the water pump, it didn't need it but I did it as a precaution. Of course I still have the original being stored in a bucket of anti-freeze. I did the normal tune up stuff but none of that was original anyway I haven't decided if I should keep it all original or do a resto-mod. So for right now it is just being enjoyed as is. My third car was a 72 Super Beetle. Had a blast with it for years but it was a little on the cold side riding in the winter but I didn't care much because I was riding when most of my friends were bumming rides. I hope this thread catches on, I can hardly wait to see more nice rides like yours. Later friend!

I hope that no one minds me starting this thread, being that I'm a new guy around here. I just can't help myself! Classic Cars & Bikes have always been a favorite of mine. Projects to Prize winners they're all good to me. So please post up your pictures. Old Cars with Old Bikes, even better ! Here are my projects!

Hey George, Not so sure why you would want to put speakers in your seat, but If you want to pattern your seat... remove your seat, then remove the cover and foam. Trace the seat frame unto some paper and the cut it out. Then put it on some card board and fabricate from there. I wasn't sure of the bike you were talking about so I Googled it. Doesn't look like much room in the seat for speakers. Got a picture of your bike that you can post?
