Pullstart 62,892 #858 Posted July 1, 2022 This is where the engine came from… BenTooLong’s C-101 thread I believe @ACman got this for free, with some other stuff, then Mark put some coin into it, then I paid him for what he had into it. It’s a good solid runner! 2 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Pullstart 62,892 #861 Posted July 3, 2022 8 hours ago, Snoopy11 said: same boots I found the boots I wear up in Manistee, MI for a Clint Black concert one time. I’ve been to a lot of concerts. Never before have I felt like I’m in a room with just the artist. It was amazing. Back to the boots. Red Wings. I’ve been through a few pair. They are my rough and ready boots, my tile job boots, my $hit kicker boots, mu funeral boots. Not motorcycle boots. I’m too short to reach the ground. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Pullstart 62,892 #863 Posted July 3, 2022 They’re more than a fashion statement. They have taken me from Clint Black’s concert, to a rock climb in Germany, to deck jobs, bathroom toilets and more. Don’t have any leavin’ to do, I’ve got it made. But there’s at least another million miles under these old bus treads 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
