Thanks gggGary, I'm a long time EAA member and currently have two airplane projects. My biplane project got put on the back burner while I help my friend Jim build a modified Legal Eagle XL. You can see our build thread here

I see you live near Oshkosh. I attend the show for the full week every year. At the show I work for a friend of mine who builds propeller speed reduction units and firewall forward packages for the Chevy LS3 engines. It's an amazing show with lots of historical aircraft flying, I love it.
Rider_onthe_storm, thanks much for the compliment, I have put a lot of thought and effort into this project. I'm also a big fan of the Doors and they're music.
Get started on your bike, they are fun projects but do require more work than it looks. I see your from Wisconsin as well. Make sure you attend the Oshkosh airshow, you will like it
Mailman, thanks for the compliment. I bought the 64 Econoline a few years ago off of Ebay. It was built by a hotrod builder in Reno Nevada.
It has a souped up 289 with a Muncie four speed and a nine inch rear end. Stuart Warner gauges and differential braking valve. It's more rare with the four speed on the coulomb shifter. It's the short wheel base van with windows only on the back doors. I was run off the road by a lady, and now it's waiting for me to replace bent shackles and a dented aluminum wheel. I'll be on it as soon as this bike is complete. I had a blast driving it back from Reno to Dallas.
Thank you guys for the interest in my bike and other projects. I also build freeflight and R/C airplanes from scratch. I'm always building something.
You will never see me sitting around bored with nothing to do, it just can't happen. I wish I didn't have to work a full time job so I could get more done on my projects. I'm working on fixing that situation.
