Huffy Slangshot (formerly the Crusty Cougar)

[Georgeediii]

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.

Glad to see you back in it, George! This will be one 'cool cat' when you get done working your magic!

RaT oN~!

Very cool frame

Cool bike! Look forward to seeing the build!

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.

Looks like a nice crankset as well, since they’re both Huffys. I’d say the chainguard as well, but it’s probably too long

I'm always expecting something else when I click the "crusty cougar" link...

Look forward to seeing what you do with this Rail. You always do a good job...

Its usually referred to as a Lifesaver seat, but Fruitstripe works too.

I've got plans for the fork off this one.

Tweet tweet! Twiddle twiddle!
There's only one candy with the hole in the middle!

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

If you need an Excel brake set (minus the levers) let me know. I've got several sets to restore. I just need to get to them. Also I can restore the correct Shimano Lark that Rails used. Again... I just need to get to it, if you're interested.

That's a bike worth rescuing . . . I'll watch with great interest.

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.

Let me know and I'll get to work.

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.

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