Nice snotter, Tim. See carpy's website...he's started with far worse examples as seen by the link below
Also see what carpy is selling some of his bikes for. Judging by the meticulous attention to detail as evidenced by your cushman rstoration, you'll have to either compromise your OCD for perfection or plan on charging $15K per bike to break even
Look forward to seeing your progress.
