To be honest, I'm just posting to subscribe to your thread.
Seriously though, if it were me I would try to put it back together as your dad might have done. To me, it looks like it is past ever being original again. Maybe the way to go is a new S&S motor? Good Luck!

I assume this is due to the site.. Ive been trying to find help anyway possible to do this bike.. This isn't a plead for you to donate but the more shares it gets the better chance it gets to be regonized and I may raise some money to get started.. I have one in diapers and one in 1st grade.. I work as a firefighter in florida.. In short not much to go into a project.. Sorry if I offended you with it.. Admin will you please remove my post with the site

I don't offend that easily. And I wouldn't go asking to have a thread removed because one guy questioned you. It's just that I was raised in a bike culture and have had projects all my life. It would never occur to me to ask for help. But I'm from a different time.
That said, if my kid went on the 'net to get cash to rebuild my scoot, I would reach up from whatever fiery pit I'm sure to be in and slap him upside the head.
I still like the project and I still wish you luck. I will simply encourage you to do it over time with your own funds. You'll be happier in the end.
And fwiw, I have fire fighters as friends and they get by. One even has 2 kids in college and 4 bikes.

If you do want to delete it, you can do it yourself.
Theres an edit button in the bottom-right of each of your posts.
Click that and delete the content.
I don't have a problem with the link, FWIW.
GOOD LUCK on your resurrection! Really cool to see you're doing it.

Also consider finding a place to ship it. Crating and shipping may be a little costly, but there's some good old school Pan wrenches here in the Midwest that don't know what coastal money is. Might save you some coin.
