The only thing wrong with it is that the original poster didn't put up enough pictures!!!

This could be my favorite thread.

You want more? I've got plenty. If you want a pic around a certain time of the restoration let me know and I'll dig one up. This is a 99.9% stock frame off restoration. Radial tires and new head bolts are about all that isn't correct. About 1200 man hours and 450 beers into the project.
