Default Progress!!!!

Well it is improving day by day, what do you guys think?
BEFORE:

PROGRESS:

Still got a ways to go, Rims & Tires are shot, Brakes need overhauling, But I'm pretty thrilled at the way its turning out. What do you think?
New handlebars, Late model controls, New Headlight, turn signals, S&S Carb, all new wiring.

P.S. Thanks to Piniongear and others who have answered my question about the old girl!!!!!

I just slipped the bottom tree cover up, drilled a hole through the tree, then put the cover back down and shimmed it so it would not pull it down when I tightened the bolt.
Bolted through the bottom, I am going to replace the hex bolt with a Panhead one. Let me know if this picture helps.
