Default really old school

I was trying to make some room on my computer drive and came across this picture of my late brother who was born a biker. he loved knuckle heads . He built. molded, painted, and every thing else on this bike himself this picture was taken in 1968 with my little Instamatic camera. he went into the shop and no one seen him for about a week he spent night and day there and when done this was the results that was over forty years ago. May he rest in peace i miss him.

Wow! That pic was taken the year I was born. As mentioned above, that bike is ahead of it's time in design. Your brother could have blown away the likes of Paul Teutul, Jesse James, Billy Lane or any of those celebrity guys in a build-off. The way that tank integrates with the frame is pure genius! Do you have any idea where that bike is now?
