Back in January, my pal Buzz Kanter came down from Connecticut for the Crustoration project that you may have read about in American Iron. The project at hand -- how to make a poorly restored 1948 Harley-Davidson Panhead look "barn-fresh". We finished the project up in about 2 and a half days, and the finished product was just what we were AIMing for.
I just got the final edition of the story yesterday, featured in this months American Iron Magazine. What a story. Buzz told the story just as it happened. From doing a top-end job while the motor was still hot, to Matt "Mudpit" Olsen getting stuck in mud up to the frame, to our kick-start contest with the winner starting the bike 27 times in 1 minute, reading the story made me feel just like I was there.....again. I got so inspired from the story, last night I finished up building another '48 Panhead motor by midnight.
As I continued to read this months new issue of American Iron, I also found another article of particular interest called "Doin' It In The Desert." The article highlighted Arizona Bike Week, one of the bigger spring events in the Western United States. As many of you know, Wheels Through Time will be moving to Northern Arizona in the near future, and to see such great motorcycle activity and such great support by the businesses in the area was very promising. I look forward to attending AZ Bike Week when we relocate.

Talk to you soon,
