Title: Hey from a new '49 in Indiana
Post by: Chance_Davis1025 on February 05, 2017, 12:58:59 PM: Hey guys! Chance checking in here from Indianapolis. My father in law gave me a 1949 3A as a wedding present, that he saved from a rusty death as a hunting camp deer fetcher. I have completely restored the frame this far and am done with engine tear down/bore/clean up. Ready to start pulling the L head back together soon. I've attached a before pic. Anyway, I'm going to start a build thread if you wanna check it out. Tons of great info on here, can't wait to pick a few brains, and show you all my build! Thanks for all of the info I've already read, and in advance for all the help in the future!!

Start a build thread for sure....

Looks cool as is.
Just fix it mechanically and drive it.
Woohoo.

And Welcome to the forum.

I've completed a rolling chassis and have the engine completely torn down, honed, and have all the parts for the rebuild. I'all be throwing the L-head back together this weekend (hopefully).
