All the screws came out really easy. Except for what I got to the lower rear fender.
not much room to get to the screw head.
and the nut is kind of seized so I have to soak it with some three in one.

There's possibly a 74 right there. That would denote 1947. Usually Rollfast had EH or SN next to the two digits for the factory, but I've seen a few with just the 2 digits.
Will get back to the build soon.
Let's have a commercial break.

They ride goodv; have used them in the past.
The old red/brown patina against those new tires looks perfect!
Sitting & waiting for assembly
. Hoping to be able to do that in about a week.; have to get ti through doctor's appointments and test Monday through Wednesday. Depends on how I'm feeling on thursday. But my goal is at least one week from today.. next Saturday hopefully I'll be able to have the energy to put it together the rest of the way.

We need to see that tire matching Stetson on you during the test ride video! 
Bike is looking great KJV ! You have a real knack for a vintage finish on your frame builds. I see you have the seat wrapped (?) , is it under some kind of treatment currently? I missed that episode...

Maybe a pic.
Well, disturbing news : having retinal bleeding in my only eye; which is already at 20/350 with 20° field of vision.
Supposed to take it easy for 8 weeks and go back to get it checked again.
I have everything ready to assemble this build.
Sort of having some emotional reflections at the moment. If I can get motivated soon I will get back to it.
Finish deadline is July 31st. Right?

Well, was taking it easy sitting in the shade a little bit today. And to keep occupied & get a little motivation.. I was polishing on the 1962 24" Murray missile.
