Thanks Shinyribs!  Funny story how I even got into custom motorcycles, I saw this awesome Triumph built by Vintage Racers (http://www.vintage-racers.com/p/by-ats-original-idea-for-this-bike-was.html), and wanted to build that one, but instantly realized Triumphs were out of my price range.  Then I saw a bunch of really cool cb750 'brats', and had to build one.  I searched craigslist all over the state (and surrounding states) of Texas for a few months before I finally found one at a reasonable price!

The nice thing is there was pretty minimal rust on the frame, so I will not worry about that for now (I'm sure I will remove to engine to paint it next year or something, and I'll powder coat the frame at the same time).
