I found this site wile trying to look up parts for my new project.A 67 Diablo 500 I got from a freind
who had it in the back of his truck,I had always wanted one.I got it for $350 it was in farly good shape
with every thing there.This weekend I made a ski seater at work as most of mine was chopped and
missing but the ski/spring part was still there.I plan on stripping it down today and painting it this weekend.
I got the paint crossed over from number I got from here,I am not making a show mashine but a driver for
the vintage rides we have each month at my snowmobile club.I will get some pictures out as soon as I downsize them.
Any one in New hampshire on here I live in a small town Danbury?

Very nice job on the paint. However I think you're ski seater back rest is incorrect, unless that's what you had in mind. Nice to see one come alive again.

We didnt have a pipe bender in the shop and that is all I had to work with.
I am doing a simpathetic restoration,simpathetic to my wallet.It will get me out there
and save it from the scap heap.
