Here is my first build, I believe its a 1954 American Flyer
I plan I giving it red or white tires and possibly a few new parts
I am not new to restoring bikes, but new to engine kits

Well done! Will you still be able to use that chain guard with the engine mounted?

Yeah I was able to use the chainguard. the only hard thing was mounting the gas tank, you cant see in the picture but the bike has twin top tubes.
