Thanks for the welcome everyone.

Welcome, some folks would give their left nut to find something like that in a barn!

Lots of potential, ...

I used to think such things were possible. I can't tell you how many barns I've scoured through with no luck. So, since I'm nearing the end of my days I figured I'd feed the myth. I have no one to leave it to so if I die first it's up to the wife to do with it as she pleases. I've told her to just cover it up and leave it. I doubt she will.

As for the potential in it. Yeah, it's there. It's got a relatively fresh engine in it now with a huge cam which makes it a PITA to get to the main road on the gravel. Need to deal with that if I get it charged up and ridable again. I'm thinkin a rattle can paint job, some steel wool on the rusty parts of the chrome and silver paint, pull more of the cover up crap off (if there's any left that is), and maybe get some new goose neck straight pipes built. The original Invader rim in back is in poor shape and needs something done with it, and maybe put some turn signals back on it LOL (NAH!)That's what arms are for.
