Cat attacked BlueBird

Its gettin there. The damaged area was folded like a beer can. All the pieces were folded inside the tank. I carefully pulled them out and trying to save the louvers. I will then have to heat shrink the folded areas.

I wonder when and why someone butchered this frame Do you think they were trying to get the speedo out?

Looking at the crime scene photo's, it seems more like "a crime of passion" than an actual operation.

I think they were trying to look for whizzerkids matching sock.

This one? Looked pretty legit to me. Maybe my memory is failing me in my old age.

Yup....that's the one. Bernard took a picture with it not long ago at the swap. Hmmm....and its complete.

They built about 4000 Bluebirds. Im sure there are more to be found.

He even had the correct restored saddle included with the sale. Fender looked a bit beat & trimmed,but that's common on these & Skylark fenders due to being so long/low. I can't remember if he has the headlight/horn cover as well. Seemed like decent deal for someone.

I think that's where the forklift went through the frame on the way to the crusher ... but someone saved it ... that's the story I'd go with ... Ride Vintage - Frank
