Drilling Hot Hearts - understandable

Yes but Chris,, it's actions like that , that contaminate the Old school market with snide items . :crazy2:
People part with their hard earned to end up with something that isn't what they paid for . :'(
In a nutshell
If you do it yourself , your kidding yourself , you've got the real deal :idiot2: :-[
If you end up with something snide you'll be crying :(
Understandable ? :-\

+1 How many KZ2.5s out there are drilled out Hot Hearts? Not cool when they are being punted out as pukka E.T.s.
That Cromo burner does look very nice. I would also consider going down the trade option and putting your energy into another project.
Why not replicate the original Skyway 24" cruiser by buying a knackered T/A, then extending the tubing to create a replica of something super-rare and really desirable? Not a bike that nobody had really heard of until people (like sam :LolLolLolLol:) realised they were ringers for E.T's.
Could be awe-inspiring rather than tumbleweed-inducing?

Given the insane prices people will pay for bikes and parts in whatever condition i believe this is a prime candidate to make a quality interpretation of a bike that Im after...
On the other hand if this is in really good nick then Ill have ponder about repping a kuwi nova or stick it alongside my other cromo ...
It is nice to hear you guys reservations on this project but Im pretty sure my visions for this bike would pay off ... For me anyway ..

If its something that you really want to do bud, then go for it :daumenhoch:

I can do it if you can wait until Sunday/Monday.
FYI, a 1983 full cromo Hot Heart has a longer front end than a 1983 Nova.
Let me know.
