Restoration Numbers Job ...

[Dragstews]

1937 Baby Knuck (EL) had a hard life ...



Seen the common crack from deck to deck ...
The crack was V-ed out and fill in with weld and dressed down to stock look...

Numbers and the boss went Bye-Bye doing the weld-up ...
With more than a few hours of work .... Back to looking like day one ...

Those are the numbers that the case had from that day back in 37 ...

Nice work, very clean.

I am sure it is the correct font, but I am used to looking at mid '50s fonts so it looks a bit off to me.

Harley was never good about consistency, lol

Damn nice Jesse.... Only a couple of things to do now other than the rest of the numbers and you will be done...

Thanks Guys ...

The owner of this case is an Old Buddy from Kentucky/Tennessee ...
He use to work for Boswell Harley in Nashville Tenn...
I did sub work for Bubba Boswell for many years... (Mostly the older Models)

He has two 37 EL's one 39 EL and a 46 FL that he's going to have me spin together for him...
I asked him where are all the flatheads at ... ??
He said those to him was paperweights ...!!! ...



I didn't say a word ...



Just nodded my head, and grin ...
