In the beginning...
Here is a shot off an adventure that began my current build of the blue Dream. 3 derelicts on the trailer, a push-rod 90 (C200/CT200), black parts Dream and the blue dream. My incredulous friend guarding this haul of rusty gold while I took a break. 2 flats on the trailer and 3 hours drive back from 'the land of old barns full of rusty motorcycles', we drug (yes, they didn't even roll) my treasure into the garage.
This is a 64. I'm giving it redemption. It is apart now for bodywork, cracked fenders, dents, touch up paint with VHT caliper paint. As much original paint as possible will be blended in with rubbing compound. More practice tack welding patches in fenders and banging out dents. Nice patina to me means light scratches and hazing but bare rust and metal or acid damage gets fixed. 20K(miles) on the clock so suspension needs help, also a few broke spokes in the rear. Plan is to get it back to a roller before the engine work which runs but not sure how well. I'll look for more photos as I go. Cool horns huh, made in England "Clear Hooters". Might keep the Honda mystery seat. Right now on my Bud's black Dream cause he has a pain in his ass due to an old pelvic injury and I get to test it out , he loves it over his original, but it's getting redone so we'll see. I'm not going to spend a king's ransom on carb covers so again, we'll see. Right now, using Rustoleum primer with filler in it. I like it. No bondo filler but have filled larger gaps , etc with jbweld. Never be a show bike but a good looking hillbilly Honda .
