More pictures would help.  I would guess 1945-1948, but with later wheels.

Does this help at all. Is it it worth a few hundred or am I waisting my time with this project. I just fell in love with the look of it. Just looking for another set of eyes to help me out. Thanks again.

I would guess to make a runner of it, figure $350 for Waynes engine kit with engine, (H.F. 212cc predator motor) another $300-400 for gas tank and fenders (maybe?) + tires ($100-$300) PLUS, seat, paint, misc.  Just my estimate but about $1000+/- total?

From Gary Wollards Simplex ID sheet I would say
1945H to the beginning of 1948
