My Dad's 1966 305 Dream (Over) Restore!!!

[rdubu]

I started this as a thread in help IDing dream, but I thought I would move it here for those who want to restore one can look at my progress, the short story is my brother in law bought this bike when new (or 1 year old??) and then a few years later my Dad bought it and drove it to work for a while, parked it in 1974 never to run again! "YET" my brother got it after Dad died in 1981 and he lost it to a old girlfriend who keep it sitting in a shed until calling me one day after I bugged her for years to get it, so on August 11 2011 I picked it up from her and started collecting parts! I'll start with photo from the day I brought it home

I am glass beading the small stuff before paint and chrome in my blast cabinet

That's a nice bike. It's in really, really nice shape. The paint looks so good that you could almost just wash it and put wax on it. How is it mechanically?

The clutch was frozen that's why it got parked, I didn't try to get it to run and as of now almost completely redone but I'll keep posting progressive photos and save its current state photos for last! Very pleased with what I have now! Hoping to have it done for the Gilmore museum vintage bike show June 9th!
