I'm not sure yet how its going to go. Cosmetically, its not as bad as it looks. Most of the chrome just has mild surface rust. I cleaned up the front fender with some steel wool and it looks terrific. The tank is dirty but dent-free. I have most of the parts (minus the throttle controls) that you don't see in the pictures.
The real rough spots are:
Engine is seized. Turned over before it was parked approximately a year ago. I've got some ATF in the cylinders, will try the kickstarter tomorrow. If that doesn't work, I've got two spare engines.
Holy exhaust, Batman! The upper left-hand pipe is rusted through and doesn't appear to be fixable.
No seat.

My two feet.
