Looks good John! Did it have a National decal on the tank? It would be nice to get a tracing of it so a decal could be made. Is this "barn fresh"? V/r Shawn

It has a National decal but it is very faint. But you can see the outline.

Outstanding!
So looking at my box score from home, I got you down for 2 boys '40 lit tanks (unrestored Firestone + lit rack and a fully restored Dayton) this '41 National non-lit tank, and a complete '40 ladies file nose big tank amateur restoration (but all there).

Great Job! Amazing the paint that was under that rust!
I've got a bike with the 'National' sticker on the tank, not that good a shape but shows most of the detail. Mine is a 41 tho with the indentation where the sticker goes.

Wow!
John, you and Nick are proving to be the miracle workers. Niether of your bikes looked like there was much color left but you guys literally brought them back from the dead.
Outstanding preservation kudos to both of you guys.
