Murray Drag star bike

Ok , I’m caught off guard a bit seeing three catagory s . As I was intending to do the winter muscle bike build off. But hey the more catagorys means hopefully more builders then great! I have a bike I disassembled and never got around to reassembling for the sake of full disclosure . This is because I have a potential parts bike sitting at a friends 2 hours from me. The good news is I have to go that direction so I can finally get the other parts bike ! Weather or not I use anything from it time will tell , Lol. The first photo is a photo of the day I got the bike . And there’s photos of where the bike is now . I believe have a lot of interesting stuff to throw on this build.

The day I brought the bike home .

Love it! One of those in metal flake green,
branded "Swinger," was my boyhood bike.

Oh man, did you take the STP and Wynns stickers off?
That's exactly what we did with our old muscle bikes as kids. The only thing missing was a Champion Spark Plugs sticker. Hope you tried to save them.

Got a mixology question...

Chrome n coke on the rocks with a shake of iron oxide?

I taped the Wymans sticker to my sticker door . STP are a dime a dozen for once the stickers weren’t covering up issues . So I had to remove them. It’s the stupid reflector tape I’m still trying to remove from the forks . Lol

A heat gun will help with that.

This is not the best photo but here’s the parts bike . This bike has a broken frame and is missing some parts . But I believe theres a few things that can be used for this build.

Thank you I’ll try that.

 

[tanksalot]

Not to exciting but the parts bike is apart .

 

[tanksalot]

Thank you Renaissance Man for the heat idea made short work of annoying stickers .

 

[tanksalot]

Now the fun starts .

 

[tanksalot]

I was going to go stock with the crank then got a crazy idea.

 

[tanksalot]

Making progress .

 

[tanksalot]

Had to move the party inside . But the bike is coming together and I’m done for the day.
