I believe you need a total of 5 posts to post pictures.
That is my old Spryte, I got it from Forrest Hutchinson, Duluth, MN. He picked it up from one of those MN ski hills. We did alot of trail building and jump building with that cat.
I do have a 85 Spryte full cab 300 ic auto for sale.

So what ever happend to Tinger?
Here is a few pics of the body after stripping Anyone know who punches louvers in northern ND or MN?
Things are finally starting to slow down around here so I was able to work on the Spryte again. We have sandblasted the frame with a big blaster and then fine tuned it with my 80 pound blaster. The hose on the 1000 pound blaster is too big and clumsey to get all the areas clean. I primed the back of the aluminum panels and the steel angle iron. Then riveted them together. There isn't any bare metal touching. Hopefully we'll get color sprayed on the axles and the bottom of the frame this week. Then I can take it off the stands so I can reach the cab/interior.
looking really nice, did you you used crushed glass to blast with? keep up the great work............
Brad,we didn't sand blast any aluminum parts, but I tried it on the old .040 aluminum just for fun. Just like you said, it didn't work but I had to see how bad it distorted!
Your doing GREAT work. When I soda blasted my engine cover on my 601 it still distorted it to a small degree I think mainly because it has no framing on it to help keep it from moving, I may have to have a new one bent up, so be careful if you have to remove paint from yours. And yes I also was charged $10.00 per shear on 4'x10' sheet aluminum. Is that zinc chromate primer? Again very nice work
This is what it looks like. It's not a great pic, but it gives you an idea of what it is. I'll post more pictures after I get the axles back on.
We found new motor mounts! They are on the way, and you won't believe what they fit.The correct mounts fit a 1961 Ford Econoline with a 2.4. I still need to find the trans mounts. Does anyone have a part #?
