2 months??!!!!! I'm goin on 3 years on my '75 rebuild. Tho I have others to ride so I'm missing that motivation! Plus I'm doing a complete rebuild, engine, tranny, drivetrain, frame, tins etc. I can only go as fast as the $$ allow. Hopefully it'll be done by the end of May this year.
Anyway, you did a great job on yours. I like to see clean, uncluttered lines!
