This was the state of the Bonanza i picked up last year.
My first thought was to drop on a 6.5 clone and call it a day, but after picking up a few more bikes that could be abused a little, i decided to put some real work into this one. i had a gas tank made to fit under the seat, only to realize later that the clone motor wasn't going to fit properly, and besides, this bike needs a flathead anyhow.
So i picked this robin up in a trade deal. yes it looks horrible, but i think its the one.
i brought the bike in for powdercoat a while back and i thought i was close to being finished but the burners on the oven were shot so the clear coat didnt adhere properly so the bike was stripped back down, and now i have a new engine to contend with and my parts from tired iron should be here soon, so the build is back on.

ok, so im pretty much done with this thang. ive ordered a chain and brake lever. aside from that, i guess im done.
