a 1,000 mile [roundtrip] roadtrip,to Polonia,WI,the home of Bill Stull! I want to thank upmagnum & krazy for delivering my next,new project;a 1970 Rupp Magnum WT.This will be a fun sled to work on. I want to thank Bill,for letting us use his shop & help,for the sled exchange.Bill,thanks for the tour of your shop & letting me see your Rupp collection. I was totally blown away,with what I saw. Unbelieveable.It was definitely worth the trip to see,upmagnum,krazy & Bill.As long as I was in WI,I stopped in & saw some fast, Scorpion racing sleds[summer drag sleds],that belonged to obj1 & Roger[on the Scorpion board]. I also stopped in MN,to see Val Elfering,so I could pick up a "few" seats & backrest upholstery,for one of my riders & a future project.I got home today about 11:30 or so. It is a trip I'll never forget.Thanks again,guys & gal. This is the sled,unloaded in my driveway. This is at wayside rest,a few miles from Bills shop. The sled needs some parts replaced,I have most of the parts that it will need. I will go through this sled ,starting next spring.It's just going to be a rider, nothing special. It will look good with this one,a 70 NT.

It is good to see you are still wrenching !! Good luck with it !!! Also good to know that Val is still doing covers. Thought he retired years ago. Haven't talked to him in years !!!
