1952 Panhead "Rustoration"

[farmall]

Dr Farmall's Root Tonic and Facial Skin Rejuvenator is healthy and safe in any quantity. Look for the squeezable purple dispenser at you local store. Give it a tug and you'll want more!

BTW some potting compound or coating on that ignition PC board would protect it from corrosion and the components from vibes.

Workmanship looks good but unpotted/uncoated vehicle PC boards are silly.

Very nice bike the way it sits (sissy bar is a little over the top though ). I would a couple of things. Get "How to restore your H.D. 1936-1947" by Bruce Palmer III from the Palmers website and "How to restore Classic H.D. big Twins " by Rick Schunk. They'll run you about 150.00 for both and be well worth the money if your doing a correct restoration. That being said BEFORE you make any changes to that nice ride I would find out an approx. amount of money I might spend vs. just looking for a more correct bike to begin with. it could take years to build what you want. As far as O.E.M frames are concerned It's pricey to find an uncut one. If your thinking about replacing / repairing an O.E.M frame my rule of thumb is they are only worth repairing if you need one large replacement casting and one small replacement casting . Castings and the cost of work to replace them can get very costly , very quickly even if you could do the job yourself. If they need more than that forget that particular frame and spend it on one closer to original and save yourself the hassle.
Good luck.

he has me to scream at the top of my lungs to him.......

Well, the Repop Roller is on the way......I also ordered black inner and outer primary tins with all the gaskets and hardware. Also ordered primary chain and new complete clutch assembly. The only thing I'm using from the bastard roller is the motor & trans, all else new. Now let's see if I can put this Paddy Water drenched thing together faster than Davetune's Cork Sniffer money pit.

Man I wish you luck......... If you ordered it new I bet it won't fit together........ But like I said I wish you luck.....

Thanks Tatt!

I have vice grips, some channel locks, and a CAN DO attitude so everything should go perfectly.
