pwgsx,

Thanks. My place is in the northwest corner of FW. I live about 1.5 miles off Jacksboro Hwy, 199, between Lake Worth and Azle. You are weclome to stop out and talk sleds. I think it's cool to hear about another Liquifire being restored down here. :beers;

Here are my before and after pics. I really didn't do any painting other than the pipe. I cleaned and replace all the bad parts on the carbs and motor, new throttle and brake levers, fuel and oil lines and changed the gear oil and replaced the crank seals on the engine. I got it from a guy in Denton for $100 so if I can use it once on a snow/ice day I will be happy. Think I may try to ebay it or something. My wife didn't like me riding across the yard over the weekend to test it out :naughty: . LOL

Give her a crack at riding it on the grass and maybe she will be hooked.
