Right back at you 👍👍👍

Now I got a Geo Metro

Lots of cool wagons out there, Vista Cruiser are one of the coolest.

Yes! we actually had it to a Pontiac show and our local small town car show already. Sons been driving it to work too.

Yah, I was happy with how the end of the video came out.

It's a good feeling to have it on the road! Its a rocket! We still have things we want to do to it, but that can all be done as we have time.

I'm glad you enjoyed.

I do love patina. I didn't even have to seek them out. Seems they might of out numbered the shinny ones.

I like it... maybe I'll use the Red-Green line some time! I might have to changing it some. Thanks for watching and the comment!

"Remember, We're all in this together."

@@lylejohnston4125 You made we chuckle. Good old show.😀

I remember being told... years ago, one was a 1967 and one a 1968 (I have two). I do think he had a 1969 also. I can't figure it out myself. One clue I used was the registration. It was good for 3 years back then. So working backwards from 71-74 (what is on the hood), would it be 67-70? or 68-71? 69 doesn't seem to fit using the registration math. I have the registration card from it, from 1974? as it says it expires in Feb 1977. Model P17H (17 HP Hirth). Its a bit of a mystery to me. I'm going to take a look the reg sticker on the hood again. Maybe I can see the one underneath. But maybe there is something obvious about the sled itself that dates it. I'm guessing that's what you used. Thanks for watching and the comment! Let me know what makes it a 69.

I'm thinking 1 or 2 more episodes and it will be on the road! I know my son is past ready for that time. We got the new serpentine belt on this am. The new PS pump (the other "new" one was leaking) This belt is 1/2 inch longer, as the new PS pump mounted in the correct bracket holes this time. I'm glad you tuned in!

Oooh, shakey!

Yah, I've been trying to get that figured out. I think I'm getting better at video editing and audio volumes.

I went as Father Time to a Halloween day mountain bike race, I couch the local middle school and high school kids. I wouldn't of need a fake beard... but I wore one anyway!

The red Kayak was on the Malone-SeaWings.

Yes... do it! Wire feed (MIG) is easy. It's my go to welder. I ended up buying a Miller, more $ but I do a lot of welding and its been a great unit. TIG welding takes more practice and is a bit of an art. I learned welding with a stick welder when I was about 12. I'm glade you enjoyed the video. Thanks for the compliments!!

Yes, I've been happy with it. I bought it new in 2000 (Big deal for me to buy something new). Very few things have needed fixn. I used to mow a mountain bike trail with it too. That was about 8 miles total in some not so friendly topography for a rider. I use it for removing snow too, with a 2 stage blower. Neat fact: my original battery lasted 14 years!

@rustysteve8545 hang onto it as long as you can do to simplicity not being in business anymore. The thing about those legacy tractors they were so expensive that a man could buy a compact farm tractor for the same price I know all the ins and outs of those machines I'm a technician at a simplicity dealership I've seen every problem they could ever have but the legacy and the regent were my 2 favorite tractors by simplicity

Good to know, thanks! I only had it to the simplicity deal once and a dealer guy out to install a new gas tank. That was the first week I had it, discovered the plastic gas tank had a big crack in it when you fill it up. Then the hydro lift for the blower was really really slow, they found a hydraulic line was pinched between the frame and body during assembly. It must of been build on a Friday:) @@danny88dh

I was going to ask what it was. At first I thought it looked like a countax c60.

I've been trying to get the audio better in my videos. I think I'm getting better at it... I better, it's been 2 years of doing this.

If you have the right junk... I mean parts laying around, its fun to see what a little bit of cutting and welding can get you. I'm happy you got something out of the video!

Cool! another Parisienne Wagon project! Yah, we looked at a bunch of engine options (350 from 1969 that needed rebuilding, a 350 create engine, a LS create engine, buying a Corvette, GTO, Etc. with the LS and a 6speed... just for the engine and trans, using the engine out of my perfectly functioning 2004 Suburban with a 6L LS ). We had a goal of 400 plus HP and converting to a manual transmission and to get there the cost was always a lot. So we chose the LS / 6speed combo salvage yard route thinking it would save us a little time and a little money. I still think it was the right choice but wondered sometimes when we're struggling with ECM wiring, and engine fitment. I think we are over the humps with those things now. We 're still working on it... but slowed down the last few months. I guess I should put a short video together shown where we are at and what's left. Thanks for watching and happy you enjoy it.

My guess was the double haul is what made it slower. Good to know that's what it is. My wife seems happy with her Delta10'AR. She's won every race she's been in with it. Well, never been in a race, so that's a little misleading:)

ah sorry, you had description for this. it seems to be 22hp its understandable for an old machine. nowadays it seems that every sled has over 100hp

Its a fan cooled 292cc from 1972, was told it made 22 hp. Its probably not set up for maximum performance, gearing, carb, clutching was never dialed in. It doesn't spin the tires flooring it. I was about 13 years old when we'd use it all the time. Its was super fun on a frozen lake with just an inch or 2 of snow. Would do 360's and keep on going.

Yes, its in need of engine #4, with 100hp! I have ideas of building a new kart out of a 600cc motorcycle, using the cycle wheels and tires too. I always thought it would be fun to have a kart you could manually shift, and spin the tires. Some people build "cycle-karts" using motorcycle wheels and tires and make them look like race cars from the 20's. But they usually but a little Honda engine in them used for power washers and such.

Collection of model T and A parts mainly, just balancing there. It's a future sculpture project. I think I have most the parts I need now though. Think kind of Chitty Chitty bang bang for my plans
