Jimbob Report post Posted October 9, 2011 Been to the museum....not any kind....been the the coolest one ever!! The times through wheels museum in Magies valey, NC....ohhhh so cool!! Old american iron, old leather and guess what...old leather kidney belts....ever seen one!? The ones with stitching, studs and the club name on it...works of art and mostly custom made by the owner Himself.....or his good riding buddy! Now here it goes, ya all ever made one, have pictures or even use one....patterns, maybe some ideas about the material to use??? Yup, I am fixing to make me one... If ya all have some history or old pics that would be great...!!! Thanks for the info up-front... Jimbob and fat Helga ( 1450cc) Aloha... Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

bustedlifter Report post Posted October 12, 2011 I went through Dale's place when it was in Mt. Vernon,IL. back in the early '90's. Cool place back then but I bet he has a lot more stuff now. I looked at a 74 cu. in. Flathead engine with title for $1200.00 but I never went back before he moved. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
