Here is my 1952 or 53 Hornet. This is this years summer project. I found this in a farm yard in Northern Michigan around 1981 or so. Not real sure what to do with it yet? Rat rod , restore, klunker, ideas but nothing set in stone. Heck I have had it this long I guess there is no rush. IDEA'S !!!!!!

Its kind of hard to call it the coolest since I kind of like a lot of frames but I do like this frame. Last week I had to pass one because I didn't have the money. The guy wanted $200 for the frame and fork and it was prewar. The fork even had the truss rods. Maybe before the end of the year I'll have one!

Does that spitfire have the welded to the frame kick stand style? If it doesn't it makes it very desirable!
