I've decided to put the Powell project on hold for a now, with so many Brothers , Sisters, Familys and Friends and yes even Old Mini Bikers hurting and homeless....I just can't spend my money on a mini right now...knowing these people can use it for so much more. I'm depositing my chrome money that I've been stashing for a while in the bank tomorrow.
Sending some money to these southern brothers and there family....The Gibbs family. (3g Family)
There paypal is mach1lincoln@gmail.com Any thing you can send will help. Or message buckeye ( Tom ) or chipper (Angelo ) for info.
Thoughts and Prayers are with you 3g Family

Just Imagine If You had No Home to Go to Tonight !:helpsmilie:

E...pass this tip along!
When putting a spring in a Powell, simply move the limit strap back and put the spring in. Compress the swingarm then move the limit strap back over the spring perch...voila! That is how it's done. This will even work after powder coating if you are careful!

You are right on target. We sent our check to the Louisiana Methodist Conference for their relief efforts yesterday.

And the hillbilly chrome Or ghetto chrome as we call it came out nice also!
