So here is part of the story, I bought the red and black Hiawatha Arrow in Switzerland in the fall of 2018. I believe Mike Spangler originally had it restored. It was a beauty only to arrive after shipping as a New Mexico low rider.

Wow. That looks a lot like my old Arrow that I restored several years back, and sold to Bicyclebones.

The Bike probably was yours. I received the Bike in a trade (not from Bicyclebones) sans the taillight.
I replaced the wheels to chrome for the buyer.

That stinks to see what happened to it. Put a lot of time and effort into that restoration.

I've been waiting to schedule time at the fiberglass shop at Unique Motorcars and finally got in this week!
The first step was to spray the plug with gel coat.

More to come in the next few days!
