Long story short, never going to get to this project done....I've spent my whole summer with my youngest at football camps, working, and taking my oldest to see the in-laws across the pond....My son's have moved on to even more expensive hobbies such as girls and beer.....
Long story: Bought this from a local north Texas cruiser guy. He was in middle of a divorce and wanted to get rid of this. I bought it on the spur of the moment because after having messed with my son's 1968, I was in love with the idea of something that already had all the goodies, i.e. power dual circuit disc brakes, 4 speed on the floor, roll bar, parking brake on rear axle, gas tank under rig etc....
It's a total rust bucket, swiss cheese, bottom of all doors are gone. Needs metal every where, BUT, has some good bones: Starts and no smoke, frame is solid, has scaling but cleans up nicely. I've replaced: starter, gas tank, troll hole carb, powder coated wheels, new tires, just got the radiator fixed and pressure tested (had a pin hole), brake master cylinder, front caliper rebuild.
I have 9800$ into it.....want to get that much back out of it as it sits. Message me with any questions, shoot me your number and I can text pictures, a cold start video, etc...
Thanks
