Love It!!! But then again I a little impartial since I'vd got a 47 coupe. It looks like it has good bones and already has an excellent stance. I think the 46-48 dashes are just awesome, How about another side shot and a look under the hood?

You dog!!

That looks way too familiar. That car was this close to getting driven back to Michigan last June but one of our good buddies put the cash down first.

Honestly, I'm glad you ended up with it. I know you wanted it too. It's a mighty fine car. When I was looking at it, I had the guy start it and while we were talking another guy walked up and asked him to start it. It was already running....those stock flatheads sure idle smooth.

Now you've finally got a car the runs

We rode out to Superior AZ today to a small cafe for breakfast. ( see photo of cafe)

A fellow there saw my RRT shirt I was wearing and started yappin about flat head motors. Said he had a bunch of them, when pressed for details he got kinda quiet .

The cafe is only 50 miles from my house. Even a HD rider could make the ride before total vibration numbness sets in from the V twin motor.

Ya, maybe a HD rider could get there before total vibration numbness set in, but would the bike hold together that long? :?:

Mighty nice Jim, now, in my humble opinion, all you need are some wide whites and a T-5 tranny. Have you taken the drums off and checked-out the brakes yet?

now i'm not really a whitewall kinda guy but the T5 is in the future plans, how far is anyones guess but prolly in the distant future. nope on the check the brakes question, i haven't got around to it yet. hope to before scottsdale tho so i know what i have for brakes before driving to scottsdale with it.
