 Very cool, clean it up, seat it,  and run it as is, a true survivor bike..

 Looks like Hallcraft wheels on it..

yep 754 that's what he is going to do last night i was talking to him on the phone and he said the hell with it.he's changing the oil clean the carbs and dust the seat off and roll with like it is for awhile.we took it to the car wash before it got to his house and it cleaned up very good.i am so jealous of him.
