Joe.. Neck came from the gentleman I purchased the bike from... He has alot of good stuff, but it is tough to get anything good from him.

Pete.. Thanks for the compliments... Yes, I thing once its done I will be putting alot of miles on it. Take it to some shows and enjoy it... then it'll be on to another project/restoration.

Thats beautiful! I love the green and white combo. The ladies bike I'm doing will have similar colors. Did you use automotive paint or spray can? Whats the color?
