BO15 PINK PANTHER - Close, but no cigar.

[BobbyStillz]

Ok! Long time listener first time caller Excited to finally get in on an official buildoff!

My build is being christened PINK PANTHER, and I will be building around a 20" Murray Eliminator frame. Just got the frame from @Jaxon last week, so we'll see what happens!

Welcome to the fun! Dig that pile of parts. Pink Panther was one of my favorite cartoons. Cool build idea!
RaT oN~!

Totally missed the seat on first glance. Ha!

Cool bones to start with!!

Always thought those panther nanners were too cool! This should be fun.

 

[tanksalot]

I like the concept.

 

[BobbyStillz]

Ok boys and girls!!! I sourced the hardest to find parts (aside from the seat itself). It's all pink from here on out!

Dig the mags! Those grips are funky. What brand / model are they?
I'm trying to imagine pink and yellow, sounds a little like a Starburst candy pack! A couple of my favorite flavors.

Those are old school bmx grips. Not sure what brands had them stock. My childhood bike was a hand-me-down Sears Spyder that had been stripped down and turned bmx with these grips (in black). Fun little throwback for myself.

Oh, and @OddJob , The Pink Panther's eyes are yellow, so that's the tie in.

Man, those mags and grips just threw me back to 1985 so quick I got whiplash! I think I can manage to look past the pink for those parts.

Brought back an old MTV memory!

PAINT THE MUTHA PINK!!!

This should be fun.
The yellow grips are perfect for the color pallet. Two shades of pink, a little white and black mixed in somewhere and you've got it!

Those little nods to our roots are what makes a build even more fun.

The name of this build reminds me of a Jeep I used to drive when serving. It was painted desert camo, but the base color had a pink hue. We called it the Pink Panther. It was something akin to this, but had a hard top and doors to protect the radio equipment within better from the elements.

Backing those little boogers into a C-130 was a delight.

 

[BobbyStillz]

Vintage decals... thinking of a couple ways to incorporate them.

 

[Bike from the Dead]

Man, this bike's bound to be one cool cat! I'm looking forward to seeing the end result! Good luck to you on your first ever Build Off from another first timer!

 

[BobbyStillz]

Building time has been limited so I have been picking out jewelry.
Check out my build's new valve caps!

WHAAAAAAAAT?! They are awesome!
