    Cat 250x project

I've done some disassembly and poking around to start to get an idea of what I think I am up against...

    Vintage Taco 44

    Pretty excited to start this one. Will do my best to make it a twin to my build off bike last year so I will be basically doing all the same steps. Seat from manchester1, burnished wheels from cambo61, original purple paint, and a nice rebuilt 80202 3hp Briggs.

    Got 2 new mini bikes from a co-worker. I think one is a Sears roper and other I'm not sure. Both need restored.

    Arctic Cat Restore

    Making progress on my Arctic Cat project. At least now it's starting to look like an Arctic Cat. I'm going to make it a Climber or at least as close as I can for now.
