Tri rod found....upside down in the woods

[mikeneary]

Hello Folks, My name Mike. My friends call me Bear. I have just found a tri rod body in the woods behind my sisters new house. It was upside down ...half buried
in leaves and dirt. It seems to have been there for many years as it's condition is pretty ragged. I think I uploaded the photos I took? I am new here so if I didn't return message me.

Well thanks Via....do you have any mini's? This really my first encounter with one. I am a bodyman by trade, so of course my find intrigued me. I plan on a period correct restore. It is in horrible condition....but I am confident I can do some fabricat youion and make it nice.

Yes I have a few now. Got into them a couple years ago and now I'm addicted :shrug: I raced karts in the mid 90s but now I'm old and have to many health issues :laugh: So getting into minis was a no brainer for me.

I'm a retired body man myself :thumbsup: Owned my shop for 27ys before handing it over to my brother inlaw who was also my partner all those years. My son got hurt bad in a car wreck back in 04 and was left a total quad with no movement at all. My wife and I brought him home to care for him full time, and that's when I gave up the shop. No regrets and looking back now, I'm glad I did :wink:

Sorry for the long winded post, but now you know a little about me, and I figure us body men gotta stick together :laugh:

Welcome to OldMiniBikes.

I use to be a body man. Just different bodies. I worked for plastic surgeons.

We did a lot of body work.:laugh:
