My project is complete! It took a little over a year and many hours. Every nut and bolt was given attention. Motor rebuilt and everything painted and polished. Here are the photos

Very nice work. What was your tunnel polishing scheme? Turned out very well.

Thanks. We have no snow but I rode it about ten feet in the shop and it felt like 1982 again
