Thanks JC. Wish I could wear the "Built, not bought" bumper sticker, but as it
turns out all I did was buy a nice ride. My son loves it, so it's not all
about

You should be getting plenty of comments on that Sprint. It's a great looking
ride, and rare in the Elky world, I would think, in your excellent condition.

My jack has only been on the ground once, but it worked just fine. Kind of nice
that it is so flat to start with. And not so scary as a bumper jack.

Just a little thought here, but how many of you still have your original bumper

Fortunately I bought one off ebay a few years ago so it is now stowed in my '76.
