UPDATE - 68 WARDS BENELLI 350 BUILD
I got my powdercoated parts back from TOMK and once again, just wow. Irishmike is helping me get a lug welded onto the engine, and then it's time to start putting all the parts together.
Here is a picture of the powder coated frame: All the polishing done: Other details:

Can I stick this here? My little Benelli...mid '60's Dynamo Compact, Italian market model. US market models were sold in Montgomery Wards stores, and are red or blue. Handlebars fold like the old Honda Z50. 65ccs, 4 speed transmission {1up, 3 down}

That tank is gorgeous. (I'm assuming it's solid and won't surprise you later).
