Maybe a few other small parts to replace stuff I can't rescue but I've almost got everything I need.
The frame has been straightened and I took the crank to get balanced when I dropped off the restomod frame. When I pick the frame up I'll take the hubs and rims to get relaced. I'll probably do most of the painting parallel to the restomod work. This will be a low budget project - get everything as nice as I can and make sure the engine runs well without replacing parts unless absolutely necessary. Will be trying to restore it to the original state (will have a few repro parts though).

I have two significant others at the moment. One is sitting next to me on the couch - the other is the restomod project that wants to be the only one I spend my money on

Glad I am not the only one working on two bike projects at the same time. And my neighbor's 38 Dodge Bros Business Coupe hot rod.

Yes it does. Waiting on a crankshaft. I’ve been assembling the last few internal parts while I’m waiting. Other very generous members here offered to help, one was quite a drive and the other offered me up his spare. The latter has a Life rule that two is one and one is none, so I know how important that part is to him. I’m trying to take the path of least resistance and go with a third member that offered one up. He has been on a long trip out of state, he recently caught up with me through email said he was home and was working on packaging so that it can be shipped safely. I am holding out on the last high dollar item that seems to be a very expensive part for its physical size. It is a very important component being the upper cam chain idler assembly . I could buy Liska for cheaper but the nut and bolt rivet counter in me is really pushing back on that . NOS are around $200 plus shipping and that has been a hard nut to crack.

Ended up with a pile of nuts and bolts etc. for plating as well. Will have to get cleaning sometime soon.
Can anyone tell me what these parts are?
And what this hook is for?
