Found a nice Bull Head truck body for my Clodzilla 2 build.

The old story you may have heard before, my daughter was using this sculpture as a door stop. Turns out it is a bronze sculpture by hall of fame jockey and artist Carrol K. Bassett. He was a jockey in the ‘30/‘40s and is enshrined close by in the jockey hall of fame in Saratoga NY. It will be going on the bookshelf now that I’m aware of what it is.

@billyjones inspired me to post a "BMX" that probably some kid 20 yrs later did a similar job. As I figure it some dad wouldn't buy jr. a Haro so he did the next best thing, took his '77 sting-ray and made it a bmx. He just got the most out of the rear tire. I couldn't spoil the patina and put on a new one so I fixed the 3 worst spots on the rear tire with tire patches. I wouldn't try riding it but will be a good wall hanger as is. For sale at $175.

I just added a couple of tin caddy's from Ebay, and a friend gave me some Murray bicycle literature ( color copies on heavy gloss paper/well done) and I happen to have a 1950 Mercury Fleetline, was one of my 1st resto's over 30 years ago, bought off Larry at Memory Lane as a project.
