this isnt going to be a high dollar build(ive set a budget of $20 for new parts in case i need to make something or get bearings)...its basically going to be stuff thats been collecting dust in the shop for a long time.
why "Marion" you ask?

Big chances that Marion "washes" competition I think :lol:

Builds like this, Kota´s, Doc´s, Gaskill´s and many more are giving me the need for a build you know...
 
well.....i doubt she'll 'wash' the competition(not in it to win it....just to finally build this is all) but she may be 'hung out to dry'
thanks for the compliments....i did find a spare headset and put the forks back on and should be able to make it to the steel shop on tuesday so updates fairly soon
anyhow.....i forgot to mention that some stuff on the frame didnt come that way....so heres the painting pics
