Clapper Restoration

I got the phone call.  My original 1954 (date code A4) wishbone frame (and small parts) were painted, done and ready to be picked up !  Pick up paint days are the best ..........

It's been about 2 years since I started restoring this frame.  It just takes time to get an original frame done right.  Thanks to Jordan Dickinson, Jeff Gelner and Chad Clapper . . . it's back.  Solid and straight and right.  Thanks bros. 

All types of resto projects goin' on at this place, from Jeeps, classic antiques, muscle cars, etc . .  check out the Excelsior . . .



He finally got it done . . . all apart - restored - full paint and striping - all back together.  A beautiful job.  Perfect.

This motorcycle previously had an "amateur restoration"  . . . and you know what that looks like - It's much better now.  Preserving our American heritage with classic, antique motorcycles.



As many of you already know, this type of work (restoring bikes, cars, etc) can be very stressful and drive a guy totally mad - his own ways of stress relief . . .

I don't know why they call him Rattlecan, Chad's paint jobs are some of the best.

A young, local ruffian, Colby inherited this '77 from his grandmother (who bought it new).  I feel so old now.  I must say, Colby has a spirit and drive to get this thing restored, so we started rippin' it apart.  It's very rough - but hey, we're professionals.  Hiccup.
