(MBBO#05 Class 2) Scat Pack

[scotleycrue]

Well, the "Little Dude" and I are giving it another "go". Last year's "Longshot 5" was an absolute hoot to build. We received a lot of great comments from members of this site and actually took 2nd place. The cherry on top was the article and cover it made on Kustomized Bicycles magazine. More importantly was the bonding time between my then 6-year old son and I.

So, here we go again and hope we finish. I'm 52 and have been playing with and earning my living playing with cars. I come from a long line of mopar influence and my son is bearing the burden of his dad (me) still owning his 1st car (and others), a '70 'cuda. He wanted to build a themed "mopar" bike. We're going to give it a whirl.

I will alert my two mopar friends that are members on this site. They will dig this! Can't wait for the visuals!

Me too. Don't want to miss anything on this one.

I'm "almost" a Mopar guy. My 1986 GLHS was not quite a Mopar. My dad worked for Chrysler though and was always the family brand while I was growing up.

The best way I have found is to either just upload from your phone (if that is your camera) by clicking the 'Upload a File' tab that appears next to 'Post Reply' below every comment box. The go to your photo gallery, or camera function on your phone, and click on the pic that you want. Once it uploads to RRB click on 'full image' and it will load to your comment / post. If you have your pics stored on your desktop or laptop computer, upload from your picture file using the same procedure.

Aha! I tried 2 or 3 times and kept getting an error message. I'm guessing the file was too big. Anyway to tell if I'm now blocked due to the system assuming I'm a hacker? Am at work now, will try again once I get home.

I like that chain guard.

I like that chain guard.

This is not how I want to post the pics but, I'm struggling getting them formatted to fit where I can just upload them one at a time. Aaarrgghhh!

I don't remember how I did it on a pc, but with my phone tapatalk makes it easy.

Okay, here's some progress. I've got more pics of the beginning stages of the build but, they're on another computer and that's the PC I'm having resizing the pics from. So, we'll just start here in the middle. LOL

20 X 3.00 rear (well, not quite but that's what it says on the tire) and a 20 x 1-3/8 on the front. Sturmey Archer internal 5-speed w/drum brake on the rear and a disc on the front. We had a helluva time getting the rear tire to fit but, with a little persuading of the stays and modification to the drop-outs IT FITS! Tire has to be deflated to get the wheel on the bike but, "hey"....IT FITS....that's all that matters. It's sweet!

Allen headed/spring loaded axle mounts are nice.

Had to get the fork on it and adjust for "stance" before chop-sawing it to the correct length.

 

[scotleycrue]

Fork cut. More progress made since this pic but, once again, on another PC that I'm going to have to figure out how to get the pics sized in order to post.
