ROUTE 66 (stingray rat)

[karfer67]

This is my new bike i have been working on. thanks mostly goes to mike s. for helping me out with the cool parts for the build. (still owe u some cash actually) As you guys can see i wanted this one to be a rat through and through for basicly taking to swap meets to ride around. more to come here is a fuzzy spy photo to give you guys and gals an idea

[karfer67]

Looking cool Karfer, but we need to see more pictures! I have a '69 Stingray I've been collecting parts for that has been waiting for 15 years to get built :shock: . I was a kid when I found it and now your bike is getting me motivated.

its probably too dangerous esp. for the plates above the seat but Barbed wire would be sooo cool.

 

[karfer67]

wow cman i am impressed you know what that is and i thought i was the only hick around these parts. Kram no worries this was a teaser and i have more i want to do i found some good close up pics of the accesory baseball bat holder. if you think i am going to pay 150 to 200 for an original pssssshhhh i will make one. and i am waiting to take new pics once i get all the ties changed over to wire (it takes a lot longer and there are a lot of them. barbed wire would be cool but it is really hard to bend in tight radius and even i will pass on the danger factor with that one.

This bike is cool! I gotta '64 up in the rafters of my garage I need to start soon.

 

[karfer67]

ccr it is funny you should mention it i was out riding this bike the other day and realized i had not posted any updates. gone is the fork, it now has an original red metalic 27" scwhinn fork which i think goes much better with the "how would a kid have built his ray back in the day" theme i am going for. the tires as cool as they are were really not in good shape especially the rear so they have been swaped for some 2.125 white walls front and rear. oh and it now has a pair of white schwinn chubby grips gotta go OG on some stuff right? although i am getting to the point of wanting to paint it i think maybe coppertone. i will toss some pics up later thanks for bringing this bike back it is sooooo much fun to ride
