I took a little trip down to @CRASH 's muscle bike restoration emporium today to pick up some parts. We did a little surgery on the Dragster while I was there. First up was to use his cool frame spreading tool to open up the rear triangle to fit the 5 speed hub. It was just a little too narrow.
A little shove here, a tweak there and it's now a good fit.

Next up was to repair the bent dropout
Then align the dropouts
And fit the Huret derailleur
Much quicker at Crash's shop than I would have been able to do at home. I think it took all of 20 minutes. Thanks Crash!

I also picked up another project while I was there. It's a complete and really nice Murray Astro-Flight that Crash had started to restore years ago and lost interest in it. It's a fantastic project and I can't wait to dig in. But it's a big project and I won't have time for it for this build off. Maybe next year if we do step-thru again or for the main build off.
And when I got home these were waiting in the mailbox for a pedal project I'm going to do that may wind up on the Dragster
