china girled 40's western flyer

Well had so much fun putting the shelby together,
decided to start another one.

Had found a whizzer project,
and sold the engine, kept the bike.
A 40's western flyer...

There were way too many pieces missing to make it anywhere near running.

So doing this one the opposite way,
making the tank first, and **** no more fiberglass, i like instant results!

So last night made some bucks...

Gonna be a big tank, but want some capacity.

That's a friends 23 T, has a big flathead 6 in it.
The other is the rearend to a 29 RPU with a ford flathead.
Sounds like you have some good toys too!

Hi TP. Yup, I've got a 32 chevy, 2-door sedan (all steel) and a 27 T roadster pick up with a 56 Desoto Hemi in it. Been working on them for too long. It always amazes me how the same hobbies keep intersecting with each other.

As for the bike, that is some great tank building skills there! Great looking bike. I hope to have a vintage bike to start from someday.
