Excitement "building"! - Firestone Fleetwood

[MrAustralia]

A dream has to start somewhere!

The plan is to, clean it, grease it, put it all together and ride it (I have many more parts that are not in the photo).

Then when I have the time, I will do the full re-paint re-build part!

There are some nice one's here on the CABE, if I can get it looking anything like those I will be a happy chap!

Thanks to the people who made it happen (you know who you are).

Excellent!

Here is some inspiration. This was a 3 day restoration.

Here's mine--a three year restoration! Two and a half years was just researching it though. Good luck with your project. These are stunning and great riding bikes. V/r Shawn

My 41 Fleetwood.
Repainted back in the day by someone who wanted a new paint job or just to do his flare on the bike. I couldn't bring myself to remove the paint. Sometimes you just got to respect their vision.
But I love the front fender ID plate Firestone offered.

As found...just needs some cleaning

The ID fender plate

It's all about the Rescue / Revival and of course the Tanklights!!

How did I run out of room so fast?

Painted the black base and decided to see what it looked like together
Liked it so I left it as is
