Haha, I know its not an Fbody, but it is a project I am working on.
My brother worked at the Dodge Dealership in Taylor when his manager asked him if he might be interested in restoring a bike for him (it was his sons bike, he we over seas and his dad wanted to fix it up for him) well my brother took the bike home to fix it up for him, after about 6 months the guy found out his son was gonna junk it or something and didn't really want it anymore. so it sat in my brothers garage forever.. I saw the bike and asked my brother about it, he said its not his but he'll ask his manager if he would sell it, me and my buddy bought the bike for $200 bucks, It was in pieces spread between like 3 boxes.. this was 3 years ago.
well me and my buddy decided to start working on the bike, and turn it into a cafe racer style bike, the engine on the bike was in pretty poor shape, it didn't run, we didn't know when the last time it did run was, a spark plug was broken off in the head and the points ignition setup was missing pieces.. so we picked up a used engine/trans combo that was running and only has 4000 miles on it. we are about to drop that in tonight hopefully, Ill keep you guys as up to date on this as possible. we are going budget build on this.
if you have any ideas or thoughts about the bike, lemme know.. we are always open for suggestion.
side note: if there is anyone out there who might be willing to do some simple fabrication work, we'd really appreciate it
