He plans to bring the bike once completed back to Tank and let him have a look at it and possibly a ride. It will look a lot different at that point in an Old School Amen Savior frame.

Below is a pic of the Panhead at my sons shop once he got it cleaned up from years of sitting under a tarp. The second pic is the frame it will go in. The frame is on the lift with with a tranny, bottom end and oil tank basically as a display piece from his open house last week. He will start mocking it up next week with the Panhead engine, tranny etc..., complete any fabrication for the frame. Then get the frame stripped and painted while he starts the rebuild on the Pan engine/tranny







This is his last long chop built with a 74 Shovelhead that he pulled from a FLH. It is in a 73 Jammer Frame that was never built. The 74 FLH he found in Atlanta. The 73 Jammer Frame, seat, Girder front end, and Harley Invader wheels were all sourced from an old farmer in the MS Delta wh used to build choppers in the 1970s. The wheels and front end were still in plastic wrap when my son found them. The front end and Invader wheels on the Red frame above all came out of that same barn stash. He loaded down a 16ft trailer with 1970s era parts including 5 King and Queen seats, $ sets of Invaders and 4-5 long front ends

50 gallons of diesel, a wasted day, and a couple days of thinking you won the lottery :-)
