Default A Few Upgrades!

Over the last couple of weeks I did a couple things to da kenner...I bought it with a single axle, which is ok if your close to the lake with a boat this weight. Well, just so happens I had an extra axle layin around so..a couple beers later, yep lets slap it on there. I also put new decals on the motor, since the ones that where on it were almost all but gone when I bought it..had some custom ones made, silver, to match the kenner decals. Not too shaby for my first time welding!! Just kidding!

I didnt take too many pictures of centering the axle up to the frame but you can get a general idea of what I did. If I would have I would have had to upload 30 or so pictures. Now I dont have to worry about the 90 mile round trip to Big Lake, with two axle's splitting the load, and the glorius LA roads.

Should have let Blaine weld that up since you don't have alot of practice. When we going again? My antique is finally out of the shop, should make for an interesting week. I'm sure if it leaves me I'll have a brand new one soon enough.

Well since Blaine can't make it I called Neil and gave him your number in case he lost it. He is coming with a square to check out that job to make sure that trailer will track true behing that king ranch. I'll pay all the expenses on the trip I told your hard headed *** that last time we went. Will you charge extra to bring Neil and Blaine??
