i wish i had the skill level to restore mine propper

I'm sure you can. Just locate a reasonable plateing shop for your metals. Check out Memory Lane Classis in Michigan for all the parts you might need and let the paint fly.

I think I will first etch it out on a piece of paper by laying paper on the tank and drawing it as I see it through the paper. Then good pics to replicate and try to paint it myself or if unable to do it good enough my self, Ill try to find a local artist to assist me. Someone cheap but better than me.

Good question though. Memory Lanes have a lot of decals but im sure this is one they wont have so the painted version will have to do i guess.
 
right on, i mite half to give it a shoot heck i've got risd down the street i'm sure one of them can paint the graphics
 
My 46ish Flyer. I didnt build it, bought it from a member on here. My favorite bike,so far. Im building a womans bike,for my wife,in original colors. White and dark red. Got from the original owners family.
