Pre unit & Cushman
I built this 57 Triumph awhile back. It was put together out of parts around the garage. The frame had a long stretch. If I had it today I would bring the rear tire in a few inches. It went up to Boston.
The Cushman I restored. I believe it was a 56. It turned out sharp. Never worked on a Cushman before it was a fun project. I wish I could find the pictures of it finished.
Some older pics
Battle of The Brits Austin and me. His bike is looking so much better w/ a peanut tank and tall sissy bar. Pulling the engine on it to night to rebuild it. Clean out that sludge trap!
Ron Finch. He lives about 5 miles from me great guy. Next time I'm at his studio I will take some pictures. The place is awesome!
RoadtoGlory made it in Outlaw Biker Magazine a little while ago with Detroit Autorama Coverage.

Scrapyard 45 trans
A friend told Austin & me about a 45 trans in a scrapyard close to us. We went and grabbed it a couple of weeks ago. It was locked up and looking nasty so naturally I took it apart. I had the case welded, it had a crack in the lower part of the case and the fill tube was broke. It needs some bearings and gears but a 45 trans for $15! It will go on the shelf until I find a 45 engine.

71 Triumph Cafe I've been messing around with. Would love to get it done before the month is up. I rebuilt the engine used 10:1 pistons. Polished the ports and combustion chambers. I took some q's from o.i.f dirt/road race frames I've seen. Put a stronger neck gusset still got some more to do. Behind the oil tank and the swing arm. I still got finishing work to do on the tail section, side covers and the rear sets. Need to score some exhaust, reverse megaphones or supertrapps would be nice.
