Here is a nice shot of a restored 1951-1953 Allstate.
I am blogging the resto of this sweet bike I found. I am no expert. hopefully this will be interesting and informative. I will try to update frequently and stay on topic.

Just got an engine shroud in the mail from SCOMO - thanks Chelsea. Yes it says "old as shit" I think that might be the official part #

It took about five hours to get this far on the rear luggage rack. And I didn't fill the house up with dust.

I was very inspired by the bead blaster at the autobody shop so I went to Princess Auto and picked one up on sale. It took a long time to put together. The first aggregate I put in filled up the basement with dust. So I caulked the thing shut.
After a week of trying different stuff I got it to work.
