Chroming $150
Paint $100
NOS wheels and tires $115
Everything else has been cleaned and restored by me.
Last thing to buy is a banana seat and grips. My budget is $450
This is a bike to keep not flip and sell, so im not worried about exeeding value by a little bit 8)

Thanks guys, I did a complete restoration and rebuild on the rear wheel and it looks great! Pictures coming your way soon! I decided to go with an NOS slick instead of the knobby tire. Hopefully that will be the icing on the cake 8)

I didn't know that there was two different types of chrome. I guess I would go with regular :?
