Hello there, I'm new to the whole vintage/rat-rod bike thing, and I'm particularly interested in powered bikes, and I just got the opportunity to restore/build a bike for my dad, and I want to make sure I do it right!
Here's my latest project (really my first vintage bike, I ride 80's vintage, but that's more of a utility vintage than restoring vintage to me. :wink: )
First off, here is a link to endless sphere where I am starting a build thread there too:

I'm really not sure how to properly identify this bike? Also, I'd REALLY love to know some gentle ways to clean off the dirt and grime with out harming the patina.
Any and all suggestions greatly appreciated!
