Title: My AZ Man Cave is Done
Post by: John Ulrich on April 12, 2019, 11:20:46 PM: I had the floor epoxied, painted the walls added a water softener and still had a crummy looking water heater staring at me. So, I turned it into a large battery!

Looks great....what a fine bit of "hidden in plain sight"

You aught to reach out to Scotty...he just bought a place to winter in AZ...not sure where or how close but Guzzi's will be present.

Hoping you can make it to our rally this August...need you for the tricycle race :)

Cheers

Irony, I used to be a factory rep for Rayovac. But the other battery graphics are to complicated to replicate. Duracell is easy. I ordered the name in 5" tall letters from an internet company and stuck'em on. I brushed on two coats Rustoleum satin paint and then sprayed the top 1/3 with Kryon Copper, both are companies I also sold for.

JU takes care of his stuff. Somewhere, I have a picture of his mentor Tex the Turnip farmer giving him some pointers on cleaning up his loop. :smiley:

Ride Safe..

Post by: John Ulrich on April 15, 2019, 01:04:13 PM: Thanks Rick! Back in the early 90's I won my class at the MN Vette show 3 years running with the '81..... then I got tired of sitting in a chair all day long and have not done show since.

Earl, I'll be back for the May 18th breakfast. I'm doing the RT 66 Run in May.
