I've seen that same look on my Old Lady's face a time or two.

If you ever need parts to stick one -- mirrors or such -- let me know and I'll keep my eyes open.

Plans so far are leaning towards keeping the original paint because it's in really good condition. Mirrors are definitely going to be put on when I find a set.

For a seat I'm leaning towards an FLH seat from the 60s to retain that spring mount cool factor. The hard part is finding one cheap that doesn't need to be recovered.

Very nice - put a few miles on one of those "riding mower" snappers in my youth (+ other snappers too)...

Great job!

Stage one was the new engine! It's got frame twist like a Pete. You can't make chicken salad out of chicken chit. The current oil is clean but whenever I do change the oil I'll just put the old oil from my truck in there.

It's a no-go on more pics of the other "snapper"

. They are just for me.
