    hey guys, finally got around to taking some pics of the new 5, none of the engine or drive yet, those will come next weekend.. well here she is, let me know what ya think... keep in mind bought it for plowing snow on my 200 yd driveway, and whatever other use i might have for it, 1971 body with earlier 134f, 4 spd, front and rear pto, plow and meyer hardtop/doors, oh and more rust than paint... even though the custom paint is pretty high quality R)

    thanks, and yeah a lot of what you see is cosmetic... and a lot of what you don't see is frame rot... haha, hopefully if i have some time this summer i'll look into repairing the frame(dang near building a new one most likely) but its all a learning experience, and it gives me a reason to be in the shop, not that the 2 project honda bikes aren't enough of a reason 8)
