I'd restore it as much as needed to make it turn-key again. And likely keep it. but to resell it turn-key would be the best option. Otherwise, selling it as a project will see it go from garage to garage, and likely parted out. Somebody that didn't know what they were doing, likely with little mechanical aptitude tried to FIY it.

A little blood, a lot of sweat, and probably a little cussing to make her ready to paint the town red! She is a beaut! I love the paint color you picked and you did one heck of a rattle can job you produced on her. A little spit and polish on the chrome was a nice finishing touch on her. Course chrome don't get ya home but a well stocked tool roll helps a long way with an old Shovel and Ironhead. You did some fine work. They both are keepers and I'd never part with either one.

20/20`s great, because I DON`T have 20/20 vision! BTW it IS a chopper, because it`s not stock, it`s stripped down & customized. Choppers weren`t called choppers because they were hardtails. The early choppers just happened to BE hardtails. Cutting off/removing all the big, heavy, unneeded junk from a stocker is why they were called chops. I think it looks great & it seems purposeful, so be happy with yourself about that. You probly won`t sell it anytime soon & so you`ll probly make more changes to it eventually, because no, they`re never really done! Sorry for your loss. My Mom stepped into eternity a few months ago at 97. We all gotta go sometime. 91 & made it thru his birthday? Pretty good in my book. Probly too much birthday cake, huh? What a way to go! Be good

That thing looks great. I had a similar experience with a bike I got in a partial trade last year. I hated the bike for a long time and wanted to roll if off a cliff. I used up a lot of favors calling friends with trailers to come get me (and the bike) after multiple break downs... but now that I've got it running good and looking nice, I'm starting to love it. I've got more money into it than it's worth, but sometimes the bikes that make you work for, are the ones you get attached to.
