I bought this Rupp Roadster yesterday. Or should i say i bought 7/8th of a Rupp roadster.
A while back i bought a Rupp frame, for no particular reason....
The question is this... how to proceed?
1. Take the green frame to the powder coat guy, he'll sandblast and coat black. Transfer parts from 7/8th rupp to fresh powdercoat (now black, formerly green) frame. Buy a few missing parts, and have a Roadster. The black 7/8th frame now becomes a wall hanging conversation piece.
2. Do #1, but instead leave off the lights and convert it to a Black Widow.
3. Do *not* do #1, but instead take the seat pan off the green frame (essentially making it useless), and weld on the 7/8th rupp (making it a usable frame). Then consider option #2.
