Hello everybody, decided to join in the fun this year since I scored this puppy

Nice... what's planned?

It's first time I've managed to lay my hands on a piece of old American steel like that, that stuff is hard to come by in UK so I'll try to respect it as much as I can but definitely stretching the plan

I hear you on that. They're nigh on impossible to find here in New Zealand. Newer cruiser frames are easier to get, but not the good old classics.

Have fun and welcome to the forum.

OH YEAH!!! Can't wait to see what one of my favorite builders does with this beauty!!!!! If anyone can stretch a Flightliner, you can! Hold on to your seats everyone! If you don't know OCD, you will soon enough.

I was looking for one of these for build off 13, but changed my mind.
Looking forward to seeing the finished product.

 

[Funkme]

oooh nice find... have been after one for a while.

 

[OCDconnection]

Gotta say I'm amazed by the quality, took 10 minutes to strip down and didn't struggle with anything. That's the general direction of things I'm going for
