Whaaah!  Okay,... welp, I finally did it..... I purchesed a 'project bike'!!  The seller says it is a '50's bike.  I am going to feature the bike on SSBC.  I do have definate plans for the thing.  I am going to turn it into "The Lounge Lizard"!!  I Guess I will show a pic once I have it in my possession.  All I am buying [2-1-2011] is a frame!  What I need advice on is the rest of the project... so if anybody wants to start flinging knowledge my way, it will be greatly appreciated.  I myself, I am going for a 'GS-widebody' look.  The 'scoot will be painted BLACK WITH GREEN-LIZARD FENDERS, but don't drop yer mouths in awe jest yet..... I allready promised my little brother that he could ride it, since he don't own a scooter.  I figure, good fer now!  So, if people want to watch or help while I do this, please feel free to give advice and ask questions and I will do my best to accomidate.

Okay, 'scooterland', I got me an engine!!  I got a seriously cool deal on an old 1952 'Allstate' engine!!  Everything is 'there' except the carborator, and it even came with an exaust and a kick-pedal!!

My next 'step' is to clean it up, and that means cleaning by taking it completely apart and putting it back together again.  I don't have any books on this subject, so, I am 'winging it'.  I have to be sure to document the procedure with pictures.  ...and I will have to replace worn/missing parts.  Donations and comments can be directed to my scooter-clubs' website : www.twostroke.mysite.com the Salem-Scooter-Bike-Club can also be linked by checking the Links-page on scoot.net (we're towards the bottom of the clubs listings, but we're there)!!  I am soooooo happy, now all I need is 'the rest' of the Vespa.
