Sears Scorpion aka "Stinger Ray"

[Sting Ray Lover]

This is my first finished Rat Rod Bike entry. It started life as a Sears Spyder in about 1968. The previous owner(s) had taken pretty good care of it although somewhere along the line it had been sanded and painted. The seat had a thick piece if vinyl glued over the original cover and the chrome was starting to show some rust. Since it isn't a highly collectable model and had all ready been altered I didn't feel bad about making my own changes. https://ratrodbikes.com/threads/sears-scorpion-aka-stinger-ray-.118949/

Thanks to everyone for their comments and advice during the build.

A great job on the color scheme, the gold is standout awesome! and the best bit for me,,, the chrome guard sweeping down onto the chain guard...havnt seen that before but I like it!
Very nice bike.

This is my first finished Rat Rod Bike entry.

I'd say you knocked it out of the park with this one, beautiful build! Lot's of great eye candy here with the paint, wheels, chute, scorpion pad on the tall sissy bar, and that chainguard! Very cool!
