    After having this sit in my uncle's horse barn for almost 30 yrs. I saw this sitting all these years even as I was a kid. I was given a chance to take it out of storage and give it life again. Here are a few pictures of the day we resurrected the old girl. Be I don't think she know she was going to be turned into a cut hard Bonneville style build.
    I'll be posting pics as I move along. FullSizeRender.jpg

    Looks to be a good body, you're 1/2 way there already. Is the grill shell there?

    wondered when this build was going to surface on here. That is a sweet body and a great choice for power! I will be certainly following along.

    hi bob the front cross member is actually lower by about 2 inches, what i ended up doing is bringing the front section of the rain down until it ended level with the rear section
