No not this year. I'm sure it will in the future.

I finally wiped the dirt off the hood, and it's actually pretty decent. It's cracked in the front/center and because of that won't sit in the bumper correctly on the sides, so I'm thinking about wrapping some straps around it to hold a shape while I try and fiberglass it from the bottom. Oh, and the faded registration sticker, is from 1979!

After replacing the hood hinge, cleaning and reinstalling the windshield and headlight, I think it's ready for a test run. I didn't get any paperwork for it yet so I'll have to wait for a Vintage Ride on the calendar and hopefully there is snow.

I did get a couple photos of it on snow last year that I see I never put on this topic. I had it had the Great Eastern Whiteout, and then at a small organized ride in Pennsylvania along with Harleysportster and his '78.
