Looking good!
I found schwinn varsity crank arm!!! My dad gave me one of his Hurst shifter knob for spyder monkey. I just polished the stem. 8)
Still look for sears five spokes sprocket. Oh boy, they are hard to find. 
Just finished rough compound buff that rusty crank arm. The reason why I and my dad love schwinn varsity crank arm is because it's 7 inches and diamond shaped rods.
Just did a testing on my original idea for this Spyder Monkey. If it don't work, I will stick with five speeds. Look like it will fit with jerald. My original idea is ten speed convert, look like it's possibility with that chain cover but it's look like more works. LOL

I have one of those. I've been watching your build, looks good so far. I always thought these bikes had potential for a good ratrod but I didn't want to take mine apart, it's almost all orginal. They actually did make a ten speen model of this bike, I had one when I was a kid. The dual lever shifter would be perfect for your build but probably hard to find.

Nice bike. If u take a close look at ten speed spyder. I noticed that ten speed does not have chain cover. I like my chain cover first.

I know how you feel man. Too difficult to tear down a nice original bike. My dad's in same shoes with his western flyer eliminator for too good deal.
Future homemade dual shifter "nos switcher" :mrgreen:

Thanks.
That remind me, it's too late for me to paint spyder monkey cuz of cold temperature and I don't have garage. So I'm going put everything together as mock up until next warmer temperature to paint.I haven't decided on color yet.
I'm thinking about
New ford brown color (golden bronze)
Polished clearcoat
Cold stone red
Black
White

Before I finalize my home made Hurst shifter rod. Does this look too long? It's 9 inches long. It will look little bit shorter after I thread it and bend it to 60 degree to keep Hurst knob sit flat. Is it too long or prefect? I already tested my knee at top and shift it to fifth gear. It seem fit fine.
as long as it does not get in the way ... i think its great like this , it goes well with the tall handlebars
It's hard to judge wthout a full side view. But I think you have the right scale to go with the bars.
I have the same shifter on Flex-Liner 7 and love it. Keep doing what you're doing! I love this build!!!!!
It looks to be similar scale to Scooby Snack, so it should look great!

Is that manta ray with eliminator chain cover? Look good! Yea that's why I made it long to try match tall handle bar.

Actualy I think it is a camelback Schwinn Speedster. Check out the build thread below. It was just about my favorite build of RRBBO6.

It look awesome bike. Awful close manta ray
I have been horsing around with my 6 pack beers cooler box. It fit like glove. Lol.. of course, I'm not going hook it up. Anyway, I had a idea by replace sissy bar and fender bracket with this ugly fork. By bolt springers on top of it then connect banana seat to it. I was thinking cut banana into two pieces and find two loop springers and connect it to the seat post. Maybe this time my ideas has gone too far. Lol
Kinda of trying combo those seats into a banana seat. Who know how it come out until it has been built? Might be ugly or awesome.
