I'm going to see if the budget will allow for a professional respray (if not this year then next year). I'm also thinking of going 5800 with it, but not so sure on that either. It's been "modernized" for awhile, so might as well keep it fully modern.
Couldn't help noticing the Dairyland Land Dare poster. Would you use the 760 on a ride like that? If so, how have you got it geared?
Nice frame, by the way. Looks well-preserved.
