Hey!we back on track again Steve.


I'm hoping to be. I want to get the frame rolling, get the foot pegs on and kick stand so I can return the mini I borrowed to measure this thing up.

  Glad you're back on his Steve. Will be watching and learning as usual. Someday I hope to do your V-8.

Got a little something done today. I modified my soldering fixture and made the blocks to hold the foot peg mounts in place so they can be soldered to the frame. I also got a jump on the kick stand. I have a plan that might work to get it mounted.

Little more done today. I made the foot peg mounts and silver soldered them in place using the modified fixture. I also made the kick stand parts and now have them silver soldered as well. I need to do a little more work and the frames will be ready for paint.

Thanks Don!

I'm searching for original colors. I guess the original colors are the Chrysler "HIP" colors. The high impact paint colors were plum crazy, go mango, lemon twist, hemi orange, ect. Basically all the late 60's early 70's colors.

Well the paint work is not the greatest but if you have seen my other projects it's about what you have come to expect. I'm not very good with that type of stuff. The color is Plum Crazy. That is one of the original colors for an early 70's ruttman.

I built one when my son was born. Too bad it was worn out before he was old enough to ride it.
