Toasty!!

The new wiring alone will keep you busy.  Is there a story behind the fire?

Good luck with your project.

Too close to a turkey deep fryer on Thanksgiving perhaps. :)

Looks like it started right where the fuse box use to be.

Now THAT looks nasty... Maybe somebody used a bolt as fuse, as PO did on my 550? Seems I was quite lucky...

Anyway, welcome home Bodain  :)

Now, if I had spent  $50 on something like that, I would be ecstatic, but the wife would asking "Why?"

Looks like a great project. What are the plans? Restoration? Cafe? Chopper?
