The day I found it:
And now:
I'm pretty proud of this ol' girl. Think I did a decently faithful restoration job. Couldn't find that exact decal in 3.5 HP. when I was looking. I did find one for a 2.25 HP I'm working on. And replaced the Tillotson E7A updraft carb with a standard bowl one, although it is vintage too. I couldn't get it to idle with a new ebay cheapo carb so I rebuilt an old one I had around. Runs REALLY strong and sounds amazing. Idles down real low too. Can't wait to see how fast this bike is. I love that color. I'll have to do some more old ones like this. Next she goes on my yellow Stellar.
