The guy in the middle is the “Curatorial Director”. Jim Frickle was nice enough to come out on Sunday afternoon and give us the back stage tour. Who could say no to Colleen Swartz. I have to thank Ben, Colleen and Jim for an unforgettable afternoon.

Test ride

Ben test riding the 53 Pan frame we fixed up

Welding

Ben Marx in action. Ben is welding up his 53 Pan frame. The front end was jacked. We fit in a good used neck and some new repop side car loops. I think Ben dig's his new frame jig.

Almost finished with the custom conversion. Just need to wire in the new Dakota Digital speedo. The new Baker 6speed is set up for an electronic speedo. Last winter I did a S&S 96" motor kit and now this thing really moves.
