I just finished a full restoration on a Cheeftah with my older son, so now it's time to build a bike for my youngest son Lucas, who probably spends more time in the garage with me than any of my other kids...... So this one will be for him. The bike is a CAT 300SS and I think it will be perfect for him, because at 5 years old the small frame cat will fit him well...
This build will NOT be a 100 percent correct restoration, but more of a restification. Meaning it will deviate slightly from original.
My thoughts are that being I don't have the original motor, and I have a later model 3hp flat head that I have recently gone thru and detailed, it will be utilized on this build. Also, after recently finishing a bike in yellow, I'm a little tired of that color so on this bike it will be changed..I'm thinking something like a candy green metallic...
Wheels will definately be redone as original with silver rims and black stars.....
Handle bars and fenders will most likely be rechromed......
