Okay, for those with a weak stomach, please avert your eyes, this is the "donor" bike that will eventually be a '70 Roadster. I bought it from a guy in Oklahoma City who must have been a "wild child" of the late 60s / early 70s era.
I'll include dots and spaces to delay the horror...

This is the one that was going to be rebuilt alongside Chip's bike. I've already stripped the frame, chopped off all the stuff that was welded on and removed the several dozen hose clamped and u-bolted-on field-fabricated "aftermarket" parts.
The chassis is powdercoated, the engine is cleaned up, nice wheels are standing by, and the Red bodywork, Corbin seat, and nice OEM Norton peashooters will go on. i might go ahead and use the Lucas Rita ignition and single Mikuni setup that came with the red bike, too.
However, this one can't get going 'till I roll chip's & my 72 Combats out of the shop as finished bikes. Anyway, just thought I'd show you what kind of stuff I sometimes get to work with! Some of the "mods" on this bike are unbelievable; can you spot all of them?
