alittle more progress....
Owner before me painted the engine "hemi" orange, so I painted high gloss black and polished the fins (not in the pics). I also touched up the carb a bit...

Then I got abit crazy when it came to the frame.....

*yea I know its going to be a rough ride but I dont plan any long distance riding, just something diffrent and fun*

You may want to put a little trianlge of metal (web??)under that seat bracket. A 150 to 200 lb person bouncing on it over a few months of hard riding might cause the bracket to ripe off of the frame. It mght not be a fun experience on some back twisty......

If you can find one with a 90° bend, you could bolt it right to the seat post.
