& I agree 100% with you as well!! I’m glad to hear others agree with me on this subject. I mention it to others in conversation & people say it’s not that bad, Bull$*€t!! It’s costing everyone more money each & every year in insurance & taxes that this goes on! It’s ironic you mention that grass, take a look at the Villages south of Ocala, all St Augustine grass yards ( which takes tons of water & fertilizer to maintain). Florida is definitely changing & not so much for the better!! Thanks so much for watching my video, checking out my channel & commenting!! Springer

Ok

Thanks Cuz!!! Might need to call you for a raft!😂

I hear you!! Time to start making friends with NOAH, we might need his ark for us & our Bikes!!🤣🤣

@@springersadventures7654 got that right.

Best year to be born. The year of the Dragon!

@@springersadventures7654 that is maybe why I gave my son that name 😂

Welcome aboard!

@@springersadventures7654 can I tell?

@@jeanniesasina2995 I “Could”, but something tells me you’re “Couldn’t”/Wouldn’t drive without A/C ,power steering,power windows, etc etc etc 🤣🤣🤣 , BTW, you are correct… you still are my favorite Auntie!!!✌️❤️

@@HunterHunter93 Thanks so much! A good Twenty footer for sure!🤣, but seriously, it’s hard to tell it’s really Hardie board.

@@springersadventures7654 haha yeah👍cool. Thanks

@@michaelrubbo7467 I’m kind of curious myself. It stays in the garage unless we are out in it, but the Fla sun,heat, & rain is pretty rough on vehicles! If it lasts 6 months I’ll be extremely happy!, I usually wax my stuff about twice a year. I’ll post an update when I do it again, if you try silicon , let me know. Thanks for checking out my channel and video!! Frank

@@edZILLA64 Thanks!! You never know when & where you’ll see my little truck. I’ve been at the flea market a thousand times, camped there during bike week, been to the swap meet, but never to the car show, didn’t know they even had one, learned something new today! ✌️

@@springersadventures7654 i think they do it once a month. First Sat. of every month.

@@edZILLA64 thanks for letting me know!

@@jtnicho1 You’re welcome! Thanks for checking out my channel and video. That place is truly my favorite place in that area!!

@@81Ironmike Thanks so much for checking out my channel and watching my video! It was a bit frustrating for sure, I’ve had success before welding a nut & spinning it out, But not this time! I did order a helicoil kit just in case, & also called a friend of mine who has a machine shop because I thought I’d be removing the head, but alas, it worked out (SoFar!!) Glad you liked my video, Ride Safe!! Frank

@@user-ro1ct9cc9p thanks for watching & checking out my channel. I hope to do a ride along video in it soon!

@@tymobyrne4451 Thank you, I appreciate you checking out my channel & video! Frank

@@VoidData I agree, it’s pretty cool for a roadside attraction to still exist!! & I must admit, the campground was very nice, 100 times better than any other campground we’ve stopped at along I-95 in the past few years!!!

@@jonnysl6560 Thanks Jonny!! If you have a minute or two , check out my playlist on the Shovel. It also was stored away (about 25 years ago!) it’s been a labor of love! Just put some new shoes on it, may take it out for a spin tomorrow for the 4th! ( depending on temperature , it’s been Triple digits here in Florida, not a lot of fun having a hot air hairdryer blowing at ya!) You should post a video or some pics on UA-cam ( let me know if you do) I too always liked to Shovel Wide Glide, that was definitely the start of some factory customs. Thanks again for watching my video & checking out my channel, & such kind words! Ride safe!! Frank

Thanks Cuz!!

That’s way too Funny!! I have Zero knowledge on import cars, I’m an American Steel/Harley guy. But I would drop a some Good American V-8 into 1 just for Shits & Grins!!🤣🤣

Thanks!! But I think Adam has just a tad bit more people watching him!! Thanks for watching!!! Frank

When you go about 10 west of I-95 in South Carolina, I’ve seen it as low as $2.93 for regular!

That’s about same time I was there, I have to say, Willy is going to need a bigger spot, it’s grown to big for his property. It’s very hard to check out all the bikes, they are crammed in there like sardines in a can! I went Wednesday to the Steel City Pizza show, smaller show with some extremely cool bikes! Ride safe, Frank

@springersadventures7654 yeah, I definitely agree with you, he is gonna need a bigger place.

You’re so welcome!! Thanks for such kind words as well!! Thank God someone respects us!🤣🤣 I actually learned that in my shop class while in High School in the 70’s. I had a great teacher, mentor, & later a friend in my life, he taught me & my buddies a lot. I try to pass on whatever I can to whoever wants to listen. Thanks again for checking out my video & channel, Ride Safe!! Frank

& the crazy part is they been sitting for over 20 years, only a few miles from my place. I’ve been by the property a million times, never seen them ( very overgrown & privacy fence)

I tried, the old Harley & the big block El Camino are out the top of the list!

Thanks so much for such fine words & sharing it with your friend!! I truly appreciate you checking out my video & channel!! I wish I could take credit for coming up with the diesel & 2 stroke oil mix, but I actually learned that from my Auto Mechanic teacher in high school ( back in the’70s), he showed me that as I was rebuilding my 55 Chevy. I remember driving it to school 1 day & it was running so rough, it was the class project, we pulled the gas tank out & looked just like the Shovel tank! I glad the stuff I learned 50 years ago still comes in handy today. Thanks again & best of luck to your buddy!! Frank

I used 2 quarts of oil for about 2 1/2 gallons of diesel . It was a concoction my old mechanic teacher showed us back high school many years ago! I’ve used this method on cars, trucks, lawn mowers & motorcycles. I always keep everything full of fuel from there on out . Lots of condensation down here in Florida, it definitely works, I’ve been using this process for about 45 years! Hope it works for you!! Thanks so much for checking out my channel!! Frank

‘69s are cool too!

I really don’t know, I hung out in the parking lot for a while but never met the owner . If you stay tuned , I’ll be doing a long video on a buddy of mine who is finishing a 70 1/2 with a LS motor, it’s super super sweet!

I guess we’re starting show our age!!🤣

Also, stay tuned, I’ll be doing a in-depth video on a buddy of mines 70 1/2 he just finished a ground up restoration! Thanks for checking out my video & channel!

Nope not stock.. ugly aftermarket

No, that’s a aftermarket

I have an assortment of rubber caps that are normally used to close off vacuum lines, they work very well. If you don’t have any, take a piece of hose, cut it a few inches long, insert a bolt in 1 end & & place the other end over the nipple. If it’s too loose, use a couple hose clamps to tighten. Hope this helps! Thanks so much for watching & checking out my channel!! Frank

The owner & my uncle were telling me that, very impressive!!

I agree, you’re welcome ! As an old biker, hot rodder, & lover of pretty much everything old, I’m blown away with the analog gauges, the silhouette of the plane & the beauty of those engines!! Thanks for watching and checking out my channel!! Frank

If you’re referring to show from the 50’s, I don’t remember that 1. I’m in my 60’s but I was always more into Harley’s, HotRods, & girls! Now my uncle is in his 80’s, airplane mechanic in the Navy, I’m sure he remembers it! Thanks for watching & comments!! Frank

Don’t forget, wasn’t Thurston Howell the pilot, I forgot about that movie! Sounds like a good one to watch this weekend!

@@springersadventures7654 Look out for billboards!

Just watched the clip where they were in the plane, I can’t stop laughing my Ass off!!! I think I need to make an Old Fashioned now!!! Thanks for making my day!!

@@springersadventures7654 "Benji are you trying to scare me?" "No." "Well you did!"

I hear ya, years ago I felt the same way, hell, years ago I would have hard tailed it in minute! Now the look of it is really growing on me! Thanks so much for watching and checking out my channel! Frank

Thanks Cuz!

Trust me, it’s taking a lot of spit & a bunch of polishing!! Thanks so much for watching , I will be putting another video on it out in about a month! Frank

Thanks for your kind words!! I’m actually working on it as I type ( taking a brake) I hope to get another video out on it soon! Stay tuned! Thanks so much for watching and checking out my channel! Frank

@@springersadventures7654 Hey Frank hope you are doing well. I was going to do an oil change this weekend and was wondering what screw on oil filter you use? I am having trouble finding parts since the VIN is the short one. Thank you!

@@shaneflanagan5496 Good evening Shane, all is Great, thanks for asking!! My bike still has the original oil tank, in 1978, Harley was still using a drop in oil filter, it drops right into the tank. If that’s what you’re looking for, I can send you the part number in the morning, I have a couple on the shelf. If you have a screw on filter, someone changed/added that on, I would check with a independent shop to see if they can match one, or send me a picture & I’ll try to help out as well. I’ll look through my original owners manual in the morning for the OEM number as well. Take care and have a nice evening! Frank

Thanks for watching Jeff! The studs came in a kit from J&P cycles (#P1007158), about $20. If I recall, stud size is 5/16-18 & about 7/8 -1” long with allen key cut into it (5/32?) If you already have some gaskets, you can go to an industrial supply store & pick up some hardened studs & star washers. You may have to play with the length depending on the thickness of your flanges. I like the ability to hold the stud with allen key & back off the nut. I never liked running bolts in & out of aluminum, it Always creates a problem eventually! I hope this info helps, feel free to reach out anytime!! Frank

I’ve had cats all my life, but this little guy really does love the water. I’ve told my Vet, he told me some cats really love getting in the water ( and instinctively know how to swim!)?but many hate it. He’s an indoor kitty as well. Thanks for commenting!! Frank

It’s a 60’s, ‘74 didn’t have hideaway headlights & 77/79 had square headlights , all equally cool cars! Thanks for checking it out!

Can I just blame that on my fat fingers??? Where’s spell check when you need it??🤪

@@springersadventures7654 Well, tornado is actually spelled correctly. General Motors added the extra "o".

@@swinde I actually learned something new today, I never paid attention to that! Thanks!!

Me neither, but it is a blast having him swim in the pool with us, his smile is worth a million bucks!!

Sweet!, did you ever get to drive it?
