After diving into this bike I dont feel bad about Ratting it.everything is kinda shot and was stuck.
Cut off crank arm,air hammer/chisel for the crank nut,pounded out gooseneck.But anyhoo she's down to frame and fork.Also had to spot weld the kickstand nut underneath to keep it from spinning.

Hi! I see you have all the makings of a great build! Starting with a Cleveland Welding Tanker w/ Springer - doesn't get any better as far as I'm concerned. Did that come with a CWC Chain Guard? If not I'll look in my storage space and see if I have one. Have Fun! Robert

I bought a few of the 50s style guards with the name embossed - Western Flyer, Hawthorne and I'm thinking I might have picked up a Hiawatha also - I'll let you know if I find one. Robert

That's just wrong having your 3 legged cat help, "Hey Podcat, can you give me a hand here?" Thud!
