Stop in for a cup of coffee

Was looking at another thread about the Canadian border being close to non essential travel. At Carlisle every year there are several Canadians there. this year, the spots were not vacant, but not the usual Canadians. BUT there were still some from north of the border, they just flew in. They flew to Mexico, then to the USA. Then rented cars and parked them in there usual spaces. Yep... So much for closed borders...

So, that would have been facing out? Too high for a car and had to stick out. Back corner of a pickup or box truck?...

Looks like those dumb asses that were partying all night next to it. It had Rays truck on it, Dropped something very heavy on it. That fender is VERY thick steel. To make that size dent took some thing very heavy. I cannot see how I could have caused it, the location precludes any kind of collision on the road...

That is the front of the right side fender.

500 hp breathing thru purple hornies may do that anyway

I initially planned on Purple Hornies on the Swinger, actually had them in hand. Damn torsion bar cross member crashed that idea in flames. Header flanges were not aligned with cross member cutout, no way they could bolt up.

Probably a good thing they didn't fit . The Swinger was headed to the 16 yr old daughter on completion of her driver training and licensing .

86F and rising past 90 today. I did get out and spray a gallon of weed killer. I swear the little bastages grew a foot while I wasn't paying attention, doing Carlisle stuff.
