At first she was a nice "rat rod" got her fired up and he drove around for a year or two.
(never even changed the oil from 20 years back)
After a quick lowering job, We started to see parts fall away.....At about 110Km
Sooooooooo after a few years of bouncing love and a continued weight loss program, she was in dire need of attention.

Found some local lady in maple ridge that makes horse blankets, turns out she makes just a little more than that, and happened to have the perfect matching matieral for a 62 razor......What are the fricken chances of that!

And some time in the next year to start Project #2
