Panhead!

Well it really happened, this is not a joke or the barn find story everyone is always telling!
A brother of mine who is more of a father figure to me than my father, has had this thing sitting in his barn for the last 10+ years, well I have been trying to buy it, borrow it, steal it, just fucking save it for the last 8 years!  A few weeks ago I stop by the old bastards house and we get to talking about "the pan"  he tells me that he has been doing some thinking and that he would like to ride it again...  at this point I just think he is talking out his ass and just trying to piss me off!   Well I start paying attention when he tells me that he put my name on the title and changed his will so that when he passes "the pan" goes to me!!  Told me that if any one deserves it I DO!!  I had to have him repeat himself cause I thought I heard him say that he was giving me "the pan" 
HE REALLY DID!!

After a big hug, a few tears, and thanking him a couple hundred times!  Here it is!!  
Its rough, it needs LOTSA work but it is all pan baby!!  62 matching # I am so happy I could poop! and never have I been so honored in my life!!!

getting back at it!! with new toys!!

I have wanted to build this for a long time, finally made the time and got it done.  New weld table with adjustable/removeable vice, 3/8 plate top that is drilled every 6" for lots of jig options, sitting on a 3" X 4" I beam frame, with 2 1/2 box tube legs on heavy duty castors and adjustable legs to level it up..  took about 8 hours and cost me about $150.00
 My old Rockwell lathe pissed me off for the last time!!!  so I sold it, and several other useless tools around the shop and bought this bad boy..  I know its not American made but Chinese people need jobs too...
I did a ton of research before I decided on this..  I had a budget of about $2000.00 and I think I got the most for my money..  I havn't done much with it yet but so far so good...  runs very tight, and I don't have to rebuild it everytime I use it..  I will post more about it later...
