hi
i am doug
i have owned my blaster since 1999 when i bought it new.
except for the stock replacement k&n everything is original.
this was my only quad for a year until i bought a banshee. i still use the blaster on occasional trail rides but for the most part it is my wifes quad.
i also have owned several trikes and currentlyt own a 86 200x.
i just bought my daughter a grizzly 125 and she loves it, she is 8 and we had her riding an eton viper 40cc before the griz. the eton is ok but when she wasted the clutch, it took forever to get another one and the bike just wasnt the same?? i will stick with the yamahas and hondas from now on..
i am also into several other motorsports too, i have a jet boat, a rock crawler, mud truck, 2 dirt circle track cars, a rat rod,and several old musclecar projects..

Welcome! Are you around the Montello area? My brother and I own some land north of Montello and spend quite a few weekends in that area during the summer. Good arrowhead and ammonite hunting areas around there.

its not much to look at.
its a 26 chrysler model 70 4 door sedan. the bodies back then were made out of wood and then the sheet metal was nailed or bolted to the wood. the wood on mine is so deteriorated that it cant hold the sheet metal together.
i am in the process of building a frame structure for the doors to mount to.
so its just basically a pile of sheet metal right now.
i do have most of the major components. 49 dodge front axle, 1973 dodge 8 3/4 rear axle, 2 49 dodge steering columns and boxes,and a 1975 cadillac 500 with th400 for a power plant.... I:I
when i get a free minute at my computer at home i will transfer some pics ( if i can figure it out lol)

Welcome!

Thanks for getting your kids into riding. Your a great father for doing so.

Get some pics up of those toys! Especially the crawler!

 

[blasterfreek30]

welcome to the forum bud, sounds like you got aton of toys to play around with, lets see them pics

 

[440scout]

I will try to get some pics.
i am not very computer savvy and i dont have patience with it, so if it doesnt work right away i usually get frustrated and just forget it.
i have most of the pics on my myspace so it should be easy to move them..
