I'll start it with my new project-
My first ride had a tweaked frame, so I took everything off of it and the new(old) donor is a 1938 Elgin Bluebird. The chances of finding the original tank to restore it as a bicycle was pretty much nil, so I figured I'd give it new life as a motored bike. So, instead of Bluebird, maybe Warbird?
I understand that I should truss the frame in weak areas, but I don't want to ruin the original lines of the frame, so I'll just have to take my chances...
