(Click on photo to see the whole mess)The black frame came from Dave, and was SERIOUSLY dirt cheap. (Take that, all you folks that give me crap for sitting in front of my computer at 4:00 AM instead of sleeping!!) The blasted frame came from Rene via Scott, and was the best price of all: FREE. (FWIW, the Sporty that Rene built was all the inspiration that I needed to get the cases and stuff that I'm working on now.) The bare metal chopped King Sportster tank came from my friend Jimi (it was in "new" condition when I bought it from him in December). The black Wassell came from Irish Rich (thanks again, homie!!), and the red/silver Hap Jones came from Dave in Sacto. I guess I have some decisions to make over the next few months. (Oh yeah, those are aluminum small block Chevy heads that will go on the engine that's going to go back in my Chevelle. Whatevs.)
The miracle is that my housekeeper doesn't mind all that bike stuff in the barroom of the house.
In other news, I got my beater '64 Skylark running like a top again, and my homeboy Adam is bringing his girlfriend's '62 Comet back over so we can pull the engine out again. It's still making some odd noises (I'm baffled), and we're also going to install a hydraulic cam and lifters, as well as a new torque converter if I can find one. So no more bike stuff for a couple of weeks, probably.
