My Next Build?

Could this be my next build? I'm really hoping so......love the beefiness of this old DB aluminum frame. All I hafta do is aquire it......hmmm, what's it worth an old Diamond Back Della Cruz like that? Needs a bit of work for sure. Any idea or suggestions?

Thanks for the input guys, I've come up with this. I know the owner quite well and almost just pimped his ride as he left it unattended in the alley as is seen in the pics I took. That would be a raw deal for me as I'd be out the expense for a motor, parts and time and he would make out like a bandit. That thought aside, I'll offer him $30, but won't pay a penny over $40 for it. That seems pretty fair to me......it is well used.

The things to do would include a nice non-orange paint job and an in-frame tank for certain. I do like that frame.

I'm still contemplating this one. I really like that frame with the unusual double top tube and the styling, I'm just really concerned about the tiny engine compartment for an in-frame 4-stroke to fit without having to butcher that aluminum structure. I must take some precise measurements I guess......
