This is a Frame off restoration, NO rust and perfect frame.
Notes on the restoration process:
Safety and dependability was the objective for this restoration. Great attention was made to assure the originality of this model but some things were upgraded including the electronics, braking system and cooling system. We did not have to worry about engine or the transmission because of the low mileage and strong compression but the carburetors needed a complete rebuild. The exhaust system was also replaced back to original. The suspension has been completely rebuilt. The frame is painted original body color not undercoated, 7 coats of paint. Body has about 10 no clear coat.
