Beauty in boxes

 It showed up this morning in crates and plastic bins, in boxes and coffee cans.  Most of it hadn't seen the light of day in over 35 years.  I'm talking about this 1956 Harley Davidson panhead that belongs to Billie Jo and her husband Matt. 

 Billie Jo's father owned and rode this beauty for years before dismantling it in the 70's and storing the pieces in his home with hopes of one day rebuilding it.  Luckily he has a daughter that saw the history and sentimental value in all those dusty parts and pieces.  So now it looks like this 'basket case' will one day soon have fresh air and gas running through its engine ports, as it comes back to life after so many years of rest.  I want to thank Billie Jo and Matt for trusting in me the task of rebuilding her family treasure.
