Ola Companeros

I forgot about the tank.  Spend some much elbow oil on it, had to share.

Carrying on with the Triumph.  To start with I did some research to start buying some parts, and when I uncover the frame number it turns out the bike is a 1964 Triumph Thunderbird TR6 650.  The engine number has been re-stamped.   So, here are some pics of the progress.  Am still not settle about what the final shape will be, if I will go rigid and with suspension.  So until then, I will work on the engine.  I stopped at Ace and Reagan told me that I should split the case cause the issue with those bike are vibration due to flywheel.  He know someone that can do that in Dallas.  So as of now, I work on taking the engine into pieces and taking to frame to its bare bone.   I did work on the tank to smooth it out and cover the holes.  It is now grinded to steel and ready for primer.
