Thank you for your service - do a craigslist search and you will find several - probably in better condition than your looking for though. We have an active VRA chapter here in the Upstate if you ever ride up this way let me know. Also have a chapter in Myrtle Beach as well. Just a bunch folks that like to ride Vulcans, and we are a riding club not a motorcycle club.
Looking for Drifter Project Bike

Be carful with that statement, the Drifter shares a few things, but not very many. The frame, forks, and swing arm are totally different. The rear fender travels with the rear wheel just like the old Indian Chieftain did, the front fender will not fit the forks. But their is a company out there that makes an aftermarket front, I know this fits the 900 but not sure if the fender fits 800 and 1500. The exhaust pipe won't bolt up either, not that it matters much, it would probably get changed out.
There are a lot more differences than you would think. I love that classic Chieftain look, too me six years to find the right one. And I don't care much for the new Indian, the headlight and front end looks gaudy to me. I think they could have done a better job designing it, looks a little to retro.

Maybe a little late in the game, but I started turning my VN2000 into a Drifter/Indian tribute bike years ago. The saga continues.
