Here's my Mudlark, the day it arrived. Many people have helped me already, here on this board. Great bunch of people, that's for sure.
Hopefully, she'll be ready for VMD and I'll get a chance to meet some of you.

Nice bike thanks for the pics
This the bike out of Ohio?? good find.
Yes, this is the Ohio bike. Pictures can be deceiving. Pretty much everything is there, but the motor was a mess.
Doug Wilford re-built the motor, as it was pretty bad, and I wanted him to take a look to see if it was even worth fixing. Let's just say to begin with, the flywheel had to be cut off with a torch!! And, as is normal in these situations, the deeper you go, the more you find. .... I know what I can do and what I can't and not too proud to say when enough is enough. When Doug has to cut the flywheel off with a cutting torch, it's a good indication that someone should take over the motor part of this restore. Very lucky to find Doug, (thanks to all you good people). Anyhow, not a problem, other than for my checkbook. At least I know it's right. Now it's just a matter of a normal restore, the part I enjoy the most. It is down to the bare frame now being prept for a sandblast and paint.
