Thanks for all the positive posts guys. I was concerned more people would think I had done the unspeakable by modifying an original frame. The Ruttman frames have always been my favorite by far and this one was in a pretty sad state of disrepair when I got it so I don't feel so bad. I may not have many pictures to post between now and the finished bike but I will for sure post the finished product. Most likely by the end of the up coming weekend.
Finally got a chance to put the roller together. Need to decide what I'm doing for paint on the engine tins. It's getting a clone. The tank has been replaced with a Honda one for the reason that everybody knows the tanks on the newer clones look cruddy. I would be open to suggestions. 2 ways I am considering is black wrinkle finish on all of it or a light silver on some and the same color of green on the rest. I'm off work for the week so hopefully it will be running soon.
