Change of plans!
Well, I didn’t get anything done on Ol’Krusty but my parts came in. I have my parts for everything (shooting, reloading, refrigeration, ect) sent to my dads house because it generally takes another day for them to be delivered out here in the sticks where I live. My best friend...
Here’s a update on Krusty. Monday I got a few engine pep parts and today I ordered some tires, rims, rear sprocket, axles, chains and inner tubes. This weekend if all goes well I’ll take her for a ride.
And Hellion I ordered my wheels and all from OMB.
