Anatomy of a Restoration
The following pictures were
taken during the restoration of a 1964 Silver Eagle. This
restoration required 77 hours to complete. Notice that the scooter did
not look to bad before the work started but was actually in poor shape,
especially under the chassis. A summary of the hours required for each
part of the project is presented at the end of this article.
