worntorn said:Doesn't sound like my project would qualify, much of it was made in 2012 tho the temporary engine is from 1947.
The first photo is already showing some signs of improvement, about 2 days into the project. Actual starting point was obtaining a 4" SS tube for the spine and a 2.5" dia round solid SS crop for the steering tube.
and here is the account of the head scratching that went on during the build. 26 pages of some pretty boring stuff, but there are some photos that might be of interest.

and here is the improved project
I'm smiling both for the photo and the fact that the show's organizers have asked me to light the bike up inside the building right after the photo is taken. With the open megaphone it has a pretty wicked bark, either a treat or a deafening noise depending on your point of view. Luckily they were all vintage bikers and were grinning too afterward!

Is that the before or after picture Glen? Just kidding. Sweet is too mild a word to describe this.
