Rembrant Posted December 19, 2019 Share Posted December 19, 2019 Cory, I once owned a 1969 Kawasaki 500 Mach 3. This is one of the prettier Kawasaki's I owned...and one of the more modern classics. I bought it wrecked from an insurance auction and spent a winter rebuilding it. I believe the guy had hit a deer with it as several spots on the front of the bike had deer hair jammed into the grooves and seams. I still see it around from time to time. Once I got used to riding 1000's and larger, I was never happy with anything smaller. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rob Muzzy was a great tuner back in those days. The battles with Terry Vance's Suzuki's were epic Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Things you want to leave in your rearview as we move into a new decade? Of course, it really doesn't start until NEXT year, but going from 9 to 0 seems like it's the start of something.

Happy New Year to everyone Being the truck is almost done and I am driving it time to move on to 1 of 3 projects I brought down from CT. I hope by days end to have the street AMC Javelin moved from the house garage to my garage. The pick up will go into the house garage and the DD will still stay out till I can get my sons things out of my garage. I would have started but it is cold out side, even the dogs & cat did not want to go out. It was upper 60's yesterday and 45* at 4am only getting up to 50's today I hear. Hope once the sun comes up it will warm up some to get working on the move. I also need to get some pictures of the truck to update my avatar.

One of which is: Big Blue will make it to the show under his own power this year. Dave - I envy you having the truck to a point where you can start on the next project. Well done!

Thanks Other than sitting the last 4 years and need to go thru the fuel system again, most of the body work done other than after the doors to the rear is done to hardest part is inside. No one makes seat foam and I need it all and the covers I want are $1000 for just the 2 bucket seats and the rear another $1000. Forgot what the door panels cost but not cheap from what I remember. Oh I have to make the head liner as no one makes that either. They say it's only money right? Dave ---- Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You are family and we'd like to keep up on what our family members are doing. As a start a link to the AMC site I am a member of and when I started project back in 2009 http://theamcforum.com/forum/my-70-javelin-street-car-restore_topic11725.html And because I lost my domain name the picture links are broken but here is a link to my Javelin pictures http://cars.grantskingdom1.com/index.php/70-Javelin-Mark-Donohue?page=1 When I first started the truck and was talking of the firewall swap and was catching slack from some others were on my side as they knew what I could do as they were members on the AMC site also. Frame rot Just a tease of what I did to the frame, check out the pictures and I will start a thread. Dave ---- Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
