Trailfire in the UP

Post by lwsnowman »

After 913 Miles on the Yamaha Vector took the Trailfire out for a cruise in Newberry Michigan Feb 16th. Had quite a few heads turning when I went by. :usa:

I also went to Naubinway on 17th for the Vintage show but only saw 1 spitfire there.

Decals on other side have scrapes on hood and tunnel. Paint on hood has scrapes. Pull motor replace seals and detail underhood. Lower panels are missing paint. I had already done the ski's and rear suspension so just a general detail and some new paint.
