78 Convert Restoration

[Dave Swanson]

15 years ago my daughter accompanied me on a drive to Michigan to pick up this 78 Convert.



 I had no idea that it would sit this long waiting, and waiting, but now the gears are slowly starting to turn. 



I have been picking up parts here and there and have quite a few stashed now.  A NOS u-joint just in case, Gilardoni set just in case, and many other parts.

The restoration took a big step in the right direction when I dropped the tins and saddlebags off for paint.  It will be a slow moving restoration as I have 3 bikes ahead of it, but thought I would start a thread.  They always help me keep track.

How's it going??

I blame the Harley.

Good things come to those who wait.  My painter has moved from full time to only part time as a painter. It took almost 6 months to get the parts back but I knew that going into it.  He's the best, and reasonable.  Very worth the wait.

Nice looking paint!
Haven't heard much from you lately, Dave.
Hoping your new year is off to a good start.
