What was your intended objective when you started the build?

Restore to original condition.

What motivated you to start your project?

Wanted to restore a bike as old as me!!! Well almost.

What was the most unique and creative thing you did to the bike?

Had to fabricate many parts mostly brackets. A friend purchased the bike in California for me. I placed it on a ship (USS Waters) I worked on and sailed it back to Florida preparing the bike for restoration on the trip through the canal! Before pictures are on the ship.

What are you most proud of?

Finding all the parts!
