Re: [St] Super 90 restoration project

["David Jonas" <kahonas@xxxxxxxxx>]

Wow, that looks great!  I've wanted to get an older CB (I'd LOVE a 750) and
build it back.  I've seen some really beautiful completed projects lately
and it's planted the bug.  I'm trying to convince a friend of mine that he
wants to sell his 750-4, but so far, no luck.  *snaps fingers*

I'm not giving up.
