38 Indian Chief

[len dowe]

To clarify I had a 37 engine and a 38 frame I wasn't going to butcher an otherwise good 38 frame to make it a 37. Also I didn't have the money to buy another frame. The intention was to build a rider and not a show bike. I'm going to enjoy it while I still walk the earth. When I'm gone the purist can strip it apart and do what they like. You won't hear a peep out of me.[ATTACH=CONFIG]21693[/ATTACH]

I agree.
Looking really nice and hoping to see the video.

I really like this paint scheme.

Beautiful Chief! Very nice work and I bet it runs as good as it looks. What was the color scheme going to be?

Major break thru today.
The chief fired up and ran today. I'll post a video later this week.

Looks like hi fi purple on my screen

Crummy phone camera, bad lighting and a blue background. They came out of the soup with an nice nickel finish. And yes Mr. Len Dowe it's Caswell.

Great build love the pix, but why are you running 36-37 distributor?

Because all I had was a 37 engine.

That's looking great, Bill! Where did you source the "T" for the fuel line?

You can find them on line, I just got them and the ferrules from Greer Engineering.
