Damn, some really cool old school potential there. Even has a breadbox air filter! And that custom oil tank, nice.
The ride IS the adventure. The destination is just to get gas!

If at first you don't succeed, use more lighter fluid

Very cool! That would be neat to turn out to be a sand cat bike. I see you've got it on a leash. Good call! I wouldn't let that one run off either.

What're your plans for it?

 Iwant to get it running as is and ride it a bit. Can't decide if I want to put it back to stock. I have most of the parts for it.

I wouldn't go back to bone stock of it were mine, but I definitely wouldn't rock a true sandcastle in a "chopper". But sentimental reasons would probably prevail, if it was MY dad's old bike. Regardless, keep us in the loop on the project!
