By the narrowest (1 vote) of margins, we have a June 2010 BOTM - Stout's Superhawk! Congrats to all participants in this month's contest. Record voter turnout and close results took this one to the wire.
The winner:
--------------
I bought my superhawk in January of '09 knowing full well it would be a huge project, especially since it was last registered in '79 - so basically since I was born, it hasn't been ridden
I started with a complete tear down, painting the frame, powder coating many components, respoking the wheels... and rebuilding the engine, which was left with one spark plug out for who knows how long... so the one piston was completley rusted into the cylinder. The paint was all done on the cheap (it is rattle can Dupli Color sprayed in the basement). It's been a lot of work (which I'm sure it has for all the nominees) but I enjoy bringing things like this back from the dead. Just glad I found a site where people appreciate all of the hard work put into projects. Thanks Again! ~ Stout
