1979 Copper Mongoose
« on: December 28, 2010, 03:54 PM »
Just tought I'd share some building pictures with everybody :)

Here is what I started with...
Good rather clean frame but drop outs where bend big time.
And this was from being badly packed during shipping.
just frame in cardboard box with no cushening.









After being straightend they where still a bit narrow so I had to get them pushed a tat outside.



 :(

Used forks:







Anyways... All to the painter and out came:









So finally I could get the goods on there I was saving for this beast:













Hope you enjoyed!
Wish I could do it over again ;)

And thanks to everybody who helped getting me the beautiful parts!
