I put several 1942 coins on the bike in various places mostly to stop up unused holes. Paint color is 1955 Cadillac Ruskin Blue with hand pinstriping. I have over $22000 in invoices and am missing some major ones. This includes no labor since I did it all. Pictures include some documenting the build. I have no title on the bike since Georgia didn’t start issuing titles until much later then 1942. I have had no problem in Georgia getting a tag with the bill of sale. I have put 2200 miles on it.
