Some awesome original Evans literature! And a huge thanks to Jim @kccomet for the gift if this 1901 Providence race brochure full of Will Stinson mentions! It will look great display with the Stinson box.

I added a couple of new riders to the fleet this week by finishing off my J.C. Piggins pig bike project for the buildoff over on RRB.

Ha! Recognized Elite right away!

The old "North City Jail" was always my favorite backdrop before it became a meth den and was torn down...

Been trying to get a complete set of Schwinn Krate Xonex/AMX 1:6 SCALE models and I think I'm finally there. I couldn't find a Pea Picker window box so ( kinda bogus alteration) used a Grey Ghost box and re-labelled it.

I wore a Beatle wig ( it belonged to my older Brother/5 years my senior) to elementary, primary school in about 1967 and the girls went WILD. Now I'm all grey and substantially balding so I'm hoping for the same feminine hysteria if I "don" this jet black mop top lid at the local mall. Please donate to my bail at "www.nuttyoldman.com".

Of course to stay consistent with my trend of buying things I like in 2's, I have a "out of the bag" example coming with John's head I can use to complete the card for the somewhat minty bagged wig card, and have a daily rug ( already out of the bag) for my mall appearances/boudoir....ha!!.

I even have a pretty cool "Beatlesque" Rickenbacker 325V59 I can tote along for the gig, or go with my original Silvertone "tube amp in case" rig from 1967!! Hey, it gets boring here in the Winter!! Ha!! I'm kidding of course on the mall, and wearing the rug/boudoir, but I will try it on. Maybe it will stir some attention with my G/F? Wrong type of attention I fear? Our dog Woody and I will look like Brothers!

Have a great Sunday! Bob

We have some nice winter weather right now. Got some hardware moved around in the shop with my favorite helper of all. Picked up a nice collection of locks off of some random person on Facebook marketplace (ppgs👍) sent it to my house 75 bucks for all of them and that’s only half of it smoking deal. Hope everyone’s having a nice weekend!

Drove east of here about an hour to get this ‘66 deluxe. The guy I bought my ‘67 deluxe from mentioned his girlfriend also had this stingray for sale. She told me she found it at the county dump! My plan is to have the frame fixed, ace the fenders and have a ratty standard rider. My bud’s dad has the ultimate set of tools and assures me he can fix it.

 

[Robertriley]

Picked up a pair guns from a couple auctions. Also, put some new shoes, steer wheel and column on the 36 Chrysler.
