Benelli progress.

I have been bouncing around with different projects lately.  The Benelli seems to be my main focus.  Maybe because it runs!  I picked up an NOS fork for it.  That should be installed by tomorrow evening.  After polishing the old hubs I laced them to some Akront style rims with Buchanan spokes.  New tires, tubes and rim strips.  The old side cover had some striped holes so I found a replacement on ebay and put my Benelli badge on it.

Custom 69 Vette.

This car was built in the early 70s by a good friend of my family.  He bought the big block new in 69.  The car was customized over several years and at one point sported an L-88!  The rear was shortened and the front was lengthened.  Flares were clayed up and molds made.  I really like the custom grilles in the nose.  As far as I know the car still exists with all its body mods although the current owner has threatened to return it to stock.

Fancy!

Picked up these today at a local swap-meet.

1922 Harley Davidson.

Very cool bike for sale on Ebay right now.  They are just calling it a racer.  Like my build it has a trans so it can't be a proper boardtrack bike.  Merkel style fork is a cool addition.  Odd paint color.

Looks like he is wearing an Indian sweater.  I don't see anything Indian on the bike though.

Another photo from Argentina.  Former GP car being run by a privateer judging from the miss-matched tires and shabby wind-screen.

Looks a bit ahead of its time being so long and low.
