Very impressive!! That neatly painted fender will enhance your upholstery work quite well. Your work is an inspiration. Can't wait to see it completed! allan

Thanks Allan. The paint is decent, good enough for a driver anyway. I just wish it didn't have that ding right behind the seat. It'll be fine for now. I should have the engine in next week.

once you have it running the ding will be lost in the dust- no one will notice at 6-8000 rpm!! Looks like there will be plenty of fine work to catch the eye of any enthusiast. allan

Coming along nicely. Definitely a dramatic change over what was originally there.

Sorry, I didn't see your post earlier. There is definitely a change from the previous pics. Now that I am thinking about it, there is a different engine, frame, fender, stand, wiring, and seat. So far, all I'm using off the other bike is the tank and forks!

By the way guys, I still need exhaust!! let me know what ya got!

Headers or mufflers or both? I have a set of headers.

The wife was away today with her girlfriends, so I had the whole day to work on the hawk. I got the engine in, forks on, and wheels on. I hope I never have to take the forks off again! They were a bitch! Lots of hammering to get em in the trees. I am realizing now that the 305's are a little heavier than the Vespa smallframes I'm used to. by almost 200 lbs, but I'm sure I'll get use to it.

Either way, here are a few pics of the progress. They're not that great cause I couldn't find my camera and had to use my phone, but you get the idea. I'll take some better ones later.

Looking mighty fine, this is almost like watching a neighbor's child blossoming and growing into a little person- as my grand daughter would say "GOOD JOB!".
