I just picked up yet another project. I ended up trading the bagged 66 for a 2004 Honda VTX 1300s. The guy that got the car was really in to it so that made me feel good. I just got this sand rail last night. No real big plans for it. Needs quite a bit of stuff but the good thing is that the frame is very solid.

I have driven one of them. I drove the bagged bug for a while. Ask Kostya. He took a ride in it. Wasn't that far, but it was still a drive. :D

I got some welding done on the frame last night. It had a couple of small holes in the bottom of the frame horns. Should be good now. I also started grinding down all of the miscellaneous welds and tabs. There is a bunch of grinding left.
