This back burner project appears to be a 1938 model.

Unfortunately, it’s just a frame, so I’ll probably build it as a Roadster.

Interesting serial number.
Kind of looks like a 39 number, except that this type of frame wasn’t built in 39.
I’ll most likely have to repaint, since I’ll be gathering up the parts, but it looks like the frame was originally red/white.

D serial was used roughly 2nd half of '38 thru 1st third of 1939 so it seems to check out.

I would consider that a front-burner project if you ever grow tired of it!
 
Ok!
It’s getting a little closer to the front burner now.

I’ve still got a bit of work to do, but it’s starting to get exciting!
I was able to remove enough of the over paint, to determine that this frame, originally had been painted with the tankless scheme.
So, even though I changed the color combination, the model designation stays the same.

Wow, Did you do the paint on this?! It looks amazing!

Many thanks, to; Keith “Kid” Dean, and Tom Clark for the paint expertise.
You guys are amazing!
Santi, Cordoba for providing the original 1938 RMS frame.
Gus Salmon Decals.
Big huge thanks to Jaf/Co, Jim Frazier for just about everything else.
Literally could not have done this without your help.
My appreciation goes out to all you CWC nuts.
Your knowledge and inspiration is contagious.
So, Thank you all!

This frame had just enough original paint left on it, that I could see that it had originally been the unequipped version of the 38 Roadmaster Supreme.
So, that helped me make the decision, not to try and track down the tank, lights etc.

In keeping with the made in Cleveland theme, I decided to go with the Musselman hubset.

Big thanks to Scott Alison for his amazing saddle work.
Your craftsmanship is astounding!

I debated whether or not to decal the frame, but after I saw the fine quality of the Gus Salmon decals, I couldn’t resist the temptation.
His work is incredible!
Thanks, Gus!

So, here it is!

It’s like I’ve just travelled back in time, and went to Gordon Cycle & Supply Company, in Cleveland, Ohio, and bought a brand new, 1938 Roadmaster Supreme.
Oh, yeah!
