No, I'm not dead. I had to put Ava a side for a while while I finished up this '75 cb550 ("the Rabbit"). I wanted to finish it to sell it so I can put it back into Ava.
I'll be back working on Ava now that the 550 is done. I did get the Earls front end straightened, and I've decided to powercoat the frame and front end, so I'll be sandblasting next.
