Here is a pic with the wheels on :drool: Now for the power plant, I have an HS50 with a billet rod, and performance cam, or maybe a Tec 7HP with cam and billet rod.

yeah, got lucky on this one. put a couple of more goodies on it last nite. Had a nice comet 20 series driven sitting on the bench, so I put it to good use, also installed the foot pegs, and the brake lever, not correct, but will work nice. IMG_0228.JPG IMG_0227.JPG IMG_0230.JPG IMG_0229.JPG

IMG_0233.JPG IMG_0234.JPG Its getting there. The colors are not correct, but it's an SS-5. The fuel tank is spotless inside, seat and fenders are fair. Note the long bolt on the kickstand, have to come up with a better extension, soon. my big block 7hp will bolt up, but, it hits the fuel tank. Bummer. maybe a peanut tank? just thinking outloud.

IMG_0251.JPG IMG_0250.JPG Well, could not help myself. started to fit a tec 7hp motor to it. fits nice. the stock fuel tank sits about an inch and a half to low (hits the upper left of the motor) going to put a bobber tank on. problem solved, I must say, that every time I do a project, it seems like I put together and take apart the bike, like 15 times before its done, might put zippers on this one LOL. just getting started again.
