Almost done !!
It is almost done now. Basically I could connect gas hose and throttle cable, ad some oil in the engine and gas in the tank and go. But I want to strip it down, strip the red paint and paint it all olive drab so I will wait until weather warms up a bit so I can paint in my unheated garage .
I might also add some Military ammo box on each side of the rear rack to give it a more military look.
Here some more pics.

New fake springer fork
Well since I have decided to paint it all olive drab, I said to myself, an antique look would make it look even better so I switch the buckhorn grips for a nice set of Longhorns. Then I have decided to build a springer fork . It is non functional but it gives it a hell of a look ! Now I am thinking of changing the seat for a Harley panhead style solo seat in tan or light brown.

Project is looking good. I can sympathize with you regarding painting in a cold garage. My garage is heated but I only turn the heat on when I'm going to be out there working for a while. I painted a trim piece for mine in the basement because I didn't want to heat up the garage and stunk up the whole house. The wife was not happy! When I painted the frame I shot it out in the garage and then after about an hour I brought in the house to finish drying, it didn't stink so bad by then.
