The 1967 custom "Stingray" is complete minus a little 3 speed tweaking....
Its a compressed frame bike but now uses a Stingray length crank, 1970+ handlebars, a set of S-7 wheels with a 3 speed, a Fairlady rear fender, and a fork that I had bent from a 26" Breeze with a Wald mini front fender.
The fork helps lengthen the bike and move the CG forward. Even at my weight, it doesn't lift the front end. (unless you want to!)
An S-7 Gripper Slik and white generic pedals.
I had the tank chromed and a pinstripe added.
A three speed shifter (purchased from someone on this board...)
The powder coat color came out a little darker than envisioned but looks great in the sun.
Not quite a match to the violet in the seat but it works.
