Art indeed; it's amazing what a skilled auto/motorcycle restoration expert can do with just a mallet & bean bag... A friend once loaned me a video of a fellow hand-building an entire Morgan auto body, using just pictures and the rusted remnants of the original body as a guide.  wt:

Cool! Weren't those things good for something approaching 140 mph with the best running 500 manx racers under them?  Not too good in heavy cross winds either.

Dad does good work.

Here's my father's partners web site if you dig restored vintage bikes. Ducati F-1 Laguna Seca for sale there. Rare bike.
