It took some searching but I found a few boxes of parts that had been hiding...

I used to get spray cans of "Implement Green" that is right on the money.

Different but the same....

Got the modifications to the fork buttoned up... A little faux patina for a faux slingshot fork... and VOILA...

I decided to try and match the color of the frame rather than the darker purple on the fork. Not quite there yet but getting close...

Good new and bad news in the tire department. The slick is going to work perfectly for this one but the front tire is so far gone that I can't keep it on the rim. I am now looking for a heavily used but still usable front tire with some character in case anybody has something interesting...

Almost forgot that I picked this tall sissy up recently. Its just rough enough for this project...

I slapped on some bright purple/magenta paint I had laying around. Went on awful bright but after a second purple coat and a really thinned-out coat of brown, it started to take on the right tone for a base. Now to "rust" it. .... yeah I pinched the dropout but no big deal.

I have some brake set-ups but I might have to take you up on that Lark, I can't seem to ever come across them.

Doing a little work on that 26" fork...

Its usually referred to as a Lifesaver seat, but Fruitstripe works too. I've got plans for the fork off this one.

A couple of weeks ago I stumbled across this piece of junk with one notable part on it (not the handmade custom rack)... A little rough but I think it will work nicely on the Coug.

I ran into this same issue when I built One Bad AMFer. You may find that even with the lip gone it is still a very tight clearance if any. I eventually wound up setting my derailleur to stop at the 4th gear.

I am late to the party but I am in with this Coast to Coast Rail Cougar 5. The last build off I entered I was unable to finish within the time frame but this time I have a pretty clear vision and most of what I will need on hand.

Got it back from powder and I am happy with the color and how the frame and fork turned out... Aparently my hammer skills were not as good as I thought they were cause the pc keeps no secrets. The graphic covered most of it up so I will run with it...

Voila!!! Its not perfect but its a whole lot better.

Last night I threw a slick on the rear and mocked it up again so I could drill holes for sissy mounts. Unfortunately I ran into a minor SNAFU with brake but I plan to take it to a mechanic buddy for advice and hopefully will still get it to powder today. In the meantime I will see if...

The guard is as sweet and as sassy as its going to get... Heading to powder coat tomorrow.

I have had this project on the back burner while I keeping my eyes peeled for a donor or two but pickings have been slim. I have been able to pile up a few key parts though.... The console is a little rough. I am not going to do much more than clean it as I really don't have the experience...
