This was taken about a month ago, before I took off the tinware for final painting, was not sure on colour then, so I had just painted tank with aerosols to see what the black was like.

Very nice. Brings back a lot of memories. I had a 1942 "45" back in '56. My spark advance cable was broken, and I just reached down and retarded and advanced by hand. Front brake cable was broken also. Made for lots of fun starting out from a stoplight on a hill. Sold mine for $50.00.
