Hey, guess what! Update!
I got tired of looking at a bike that needed way too much work as-is, so I got lucky and found ANOTHER frame, this time in one piece AND with a title. Because of this, I can finally do something I haven't done in a while- put pieces BACK TOGETHER!
First thing's first- the easiest way to get a CB750 motor back into the frame (can attest that it works, and lots better than when I removed it).

...and this is where we currently sit. Engine, battery box, oil tank, main wiring harness, rear fender. I've been cleaning up and painting some of the really bad parts, so while you can still tell it's been rusted at some point, it looks a LOT better than it did before.

The crusty engine covers are going to be pulled and polished later on, assuming I can get the bike running. I can do that with the engine in the frame no problem, so I can put that off.
I'm adding a bit every day. I'd like to get the back end on next, then deal with all the wiring/triple tree/fork mess up front last. THEN, once we get a roller, I can start picking at running/quality of life issues. Definitely happy to be making some progress, finally.
