Still waiting for my CB... so thought posting another project might help.
I'm retired and have done some projects for others in the past. This was for a friend of a friend. Took me a little over a year.
Just off the trailer. Owner thought he had a real gem.

"Pogo stick" seat was very comfortable. Combo of seven springs, which matched the drivers weight.
