Great score! Welcome to the board!!

I like your forward thinking. While most guys would use a empty 5 gallon bucket as a seat, and in times of dire need have probably used a 5 gallon bucket as handy substitute for a frosty beverage container you have taken things into the futer and have adapter a real live cooler. Not only do the frosty beverages stay cool much longer butyou don't freeze your tail off when you accidentally slip into the bucket.

Woohoooo!
Bobby

Cooler, smooler, I would think that assuming the correct driving position with arm on/out the window as you have obviously mastered with great precision is as important as where your butt is parked.

With the cooler seat you can chop the top now and not worry about hitting your head on the bumps!!

Thanks for the humor... I thought I had the window sill in the right spot with my arm resting on it... Looks like I was smart enough to get my location to show on my posts... Don't be shy, swing on by...

Added a few more pics for those interested... tried to add more as well but they didn't upload... I wanted to show some pix of the front clip and what you folks thought of the welding on it...

Is there a limit to the number of pix in an album? Should I make another album?

Thanks,
JB

I've never had any trouble uploading pic to a gallery. (see mine, its loaded)..

I have had trouble uploading to attach due to limited picture size, so I usually upload to the gallery which doesn't care, and then link from there.

oh, and that is some cool looking machine.. the body looks great.,. looks better than what I'm startin with on my 56.. (cept mine currently rolls )
