Thanks guys I appreciate all the kind words . It was a fun bike to build not stressful like last years build. Keeping it fun is what it all about . For a old bike it rides well and get plenty of looks . I'm asked what year is that bike ..... Well it's a 1940-1970 & with couple 00s dodads [emoji6]she's what ya call a [emoji232]
