36,38 and 39 details

 I cruised around on Jim's 38 this weekend.  These bikes are so nice.  I think that 38 was the best year for stock Harley Davidsons.  It was between 40 and  50 degrees out which is amazing for where we live.

 Here is a great photo of a 38 el with a 38 miles on it

 Here is an awesome photo of a 39 el that was posted over on the AMCA facebook page.  I started it 14 months ago and it almost has 9000 members on it.  Pretty soon there will probably be more people on the site than ones that are actually in the club.  If you have a facebook account, go over and join

 I sent my friend Anthony's nos vl fender out last week.  He let me borrow it for paint lay out and matching.  Here are some good pics to help you guys out with your striping questions for 34 to 36 harleys

 I love seeing stuff like this.  The cream in the crown is not really laid out the best.  When we restore these bikes we agonize over having every little detail perfect, when harley used looser tolerances when they actually produced the bikes.

These are the risers for my dad's 36,  I am missing some parts,  do any of you guys have the stuff that we need to complete them.   Please email me at mattbrittney.olsen@gmail.com to discuss

y'all deserve a post....and i promise to give one as soon as things calm down.  right now, the best i can do is unload some iphone pics.  we are officially in our new home and wake up everyday extremely thankful for it.  thank you so much for all of your sweet comments on instagram.  i will do a real post soon (promise).  here are some answers to your questions: the pendents over the island are circa lighting, the lantern is regina andrews, and the table is oly.   i'm really excited b/c my dad is going to come here next week and help with some fun projects.  he built a barn door for our playroom and a swing bed for our porch.  i can't wait to see them (and paint them...he does the wood work but the rest is for me to do).  i'm putting him to work while he's here....he is going to tile our kitchen backsplash and wallpaper my powder room.  i am so grateful to have such a talented dad.  he's a lifesaver...
i hope y'all have a wonderful weekend!!  i'm off to unpack boxes.....
