Time to start working on the bombardiers!

[Swamp Dawg]

Whats everybody been up to over the summer?  Any new projects or additions in the works for this winter ?

[sarksey]

Well the summer seemed pretty short for some reason. Just waiting to get my bomber in for some repairs and then body and paint hopefully.

Making up new tracks for mine and plan to have all the upholstery redone.
Have to have the farming done before the bombardier goes into our shop.

We pulled our rig home on labor day and haven't touched it since, my fishing partner and I work all summer so we can be on Lake of The Woods fishing and driving tracks as much as we can. Our new project is a '69 B-12 ?, Pictures soon. I am still looking for ideas for door handle hardware, (operators, hindges). We hope to just get it mechanically sound for this season, then restore next year.  For sure we need new sprockets any advise ?

In the next few weeks we will bring our '52 in for some more work.  We need to get the interior redone.  Starting with the seats, front and the back benches.  Very old foam and it stinks like it has water in it.  The drivetrain was all upgraded and overhauled last winter, along with shock upgrade kit, new tracks.  Might throw some paint on it this year just to make it a little less ugly.  We are trying to get one machine ready for the bombardier rally this year.  We didn't make it last year, last minute bugs in the engine and cooling issues.

I'm still looking for a machine to restore so let me know if you come across any!

Which weekend is the rally this year?  I heard about it for the first time last year, but it was too late to make plans. 

[Swamp Dawg]
