What ever the case it sounds like your in for some fun. Anyone who enjoys putting a Rat Rod together is bound to have a blast getting a favorite bike cleaned up like new.
And yes, that's another category... "Cleaned Up Like New"... fun, Fun, FUN!
I've refurbished many many bikes, never restored one. This one is about the easiest in my collection to accomplish that.
Paint and stickers are my goal along with just cleaning up the rest of it.
I have a couple that only need refurbishing and one of those is coming up next
