Good job super Dad, hope all goes well for your son, he sure has some nice old Honda'sOk now for the update on my day...
The youngest kid is moving out to go live with his mother in NC...
He was going to leave this morning, but we had a few obstacles thrown at us...
First, we loaded his motorcycles on the old snowmobile trailer that my brother had from when we were in high school and gave to my son... But the hold downs that he installed in the original wood floor started pulling up the floor... There were holes on the side rail of the trailer in the back that we were able to use, but none in the front for us to use... So we had to go across town to the good Ace Hardware store and get some 1/2" eyelits for the front to use for the tie down straps...

Here it is after drilling the holes to mount the eyelets on the side...

In addition, there were no safety chain mounts on the trailer, so we bought some 1/2" eyelets with longer studs to go through the main square bar at the front of the trailer...

Here it is all loaded with his motorcycles and some spare tires, seat for working on them, and a gas can...

Good morning Zman, I am hoping my lower back is ok, sore this morning, up and down and leaning in over the fender yesterday, never thought I would be wrestling headers at 60 years oldGood morning Mike.

I know how you feel. I was under the car for awhile yesterday, putting those front seats back in the Barracuda. Those floor bolts fought us the whole way.Good morning Zman, I am hoping my lower back is ok, sore this morning, up and down and leaning in over the fender yesterday, never thought I would be wrestling headers at 60 years old![]()

That's good a big thing to pull and put in. Sure it got to be like a pit crew the last time you did it.I have lowered and lifted the 360 in and out 3 times, now I think I have it ready to stay, but I do have to look at where I want the brake line ran, all fun and games for now, we will see![]()

Mounts. Then rebuild rear foot of framerails.
