When I found this 1939 Shelby Airflo, there were four mouse nests inside the tank (generations of mice!) and a bird's nest tucked between the saddle springs. The tank and other parts have long since gone to complete other projects. Reborn as a klunker, the scruffy paint and pits in the frame become beauty marks.
Note the suspension front fork and New Departure front drum brake.
