So - You like old school!

That's actually not as bad as some that I've seen, but it certainly isn't good, either!

Berrymans is some wonderful stuff.

I have had worse also - but I was younger

I'm really getting kick in the berries on another forum because I'm still thinking about blasting the frame & repainting everything - here is a ford I refreshed - This paint was 90 years old - But I was able to keep the original paint! But also ther car looked great! If the paint was anywhere near as good as my T was it would stay - but it's not!

Brass carb floats! Probably still as good as the day they were originally installed.
Bing floats = designed deterioration. [smiley=thumbdown.gif]

The tank cleaned up nice - I have soaked the carbs just waiting for the kits to come in - i got the front brake & the clutch cables all nice & working - I was a little worried that the clutch was froze up but not the case - I finally have found new petcocks so that issue is handled - A friend of mine was over today & offered to give me a new Springer front end - free-beeeee! But I past on it for now - I want to keep things as original as I can - this muffler tube front end is part of the history of this bike & what we did in 1964 when we didn't have the internet to figure out "HOW TO" do things - no e- bay for chasing parts - it's a whole lot easier now than in the good old days - Tom

Fire in the hole - The old girl fired up tonight - it's been a long time - it only lasted maybe 3 seconds but it did run - He disconnected the electric starter 40 years ago - he said it looked cooler to kick it It's a chain drive deal & he tossed the chain - kick starting a barn find isn't what i want to be doing in my golden years -at least not until I get all the bugs under control
