I have a weird thing for ratty muscle cars, originally I was going to try shiny for this bike but it just doesn’t work for me.

I have been working on it a bit here and there. Mostly been selling bikes to get space back😂 I’m not 100% sure on the paint so it’s hidden. Sissy bar is a bit twisted and I’m not sure this style will hold me 😂 but I’m going to try and straighten it out. The current back tire is part of the dirty...

Another day of boring updates! Found one of the rear wheels I wanted as a possibility not the worst I’ve ever torn apart while wire brushing the inside I did find out it was a painted wheel originally. It’s chrome and flaky underneathwas headed out to the garage to adjust the bend in this sissy...

First round with 400 wet. I’m a mess and so is the bike 😂 really gotta grab some more filler primer

Hit it with some leftover primers, in some ways it’s better than I expected. Still plenty of sanding but I need to buy some primer. I’m out of leftovers. 24 hours laying outside in this heat did dry and harden it up well. Still undecided on color but did decide it can’t be super shiny, I’m using...

Decided I’d give it a nice scrub with a green pad to see what the paint was like under the dirt. Quickly led to sandpaper and a wire wheelignore the junk in the back, if the guy doesn’t show up for it this weekend it’s the scrap from the bike load. Straightened out the dropouts a bit with the...

Name may change in the future, but mostly a spin on the fact I drove my wife’s mini van down 11 miles of dirt and gravel roads to pick up the bike lot this was in. This was one of the two frames in the photos I wanted! The full glory of what I unloaded at home. How it currently sits waiting...

Those larger axles are 14mm.

White bikes fork seems straight but I will double check ,this bad boy took a hit and looked straight on the bike! I’ve had a lot of bent forks latelyif the Murray fork is bent it’s not bad enough that I can tell.

This is a first for me, someone spaced down the stock fork 🤷 sometimes tearing these things apart is entertaining

I’m good on build off bikes for a while. All the scwhinn stuff maybe leaving next weekend tho!

Turns out the Firestone is a crappy repaint with the wrong fork 😂

Tore the Murray apart tonight and what is this monstrosity of a seat 😂😂I tear them down for easier storage and so non used/saved stuff can go in the scrap pile. In 2 weeks I ended up with 20 more bikes. Some are saved for projects, some are up for sale and some are headed for the scrap yard...

Must be who made the one with the gambles badge because that’s the rear triangle in the edge of that photo 😂

Most likely going with this out of my last haul of bikes. Already has apes and I love Murray frames 🤷

The other frame that I saw in photos and wanted. Gambles badge. Decided to strip all these in the garage so I could use power and cutting tools

Stow and go to the rescue. I thought this ad was a scam at first because it was 13 bikes for less then I paid for most frames and the photo sucked. I decided to make the hour drive anyway for the two guys frames they had pictured. Was a fantastic deal and a nice guy. 13 bikes in a minivan! Huffy...

Na fork is straight and actually pretty raked (it’s the only part I cared about) the frame had several large dents in it like someone just beat it. Good starting point for a C2 next spring

I may be in, didn’t finish my C1 build this year so I’m still missing a banana seat bike in my collection after selling several off 😂. Gotta see if I have a frame I like. It will be 26 inch and slightly ratty like usual

What kind of weird Schwinn is this thing, I ignored the seat and grips but the headset and wheels are also Schwinn. Guessing it’s 80s with the euro BB
