Chippers Vintage Class Roper

[chipper]

Well here it goes , I bought this last year in Aledo TX for next to nothing , it had K&S Forks with a Manco front wheel , Missing a foot peg , no engine , it's painted with a very thick coat of tractor paint , lol .It had the kickstand and rear fender bracket , I acquired the Forks from a fine OldMiniBikes member (can't remember who ) , and y'all know about the fuel tank $20 special , The Briggs came off a tiller and the Tec intake came from Carplaylb of course ! It should be a fun build that I've been anxiously awaiting , and per my 5 yr old grandson this mini will be GOLD ! Thanks and good luck to all !

thanks Chad , I bought the 60th 3.25 bolt pattern sprocket , these wheels have nut holders on the inward side , simply drill out the fake rivet and wa-la , I'll make spacers with some 5/16 " rod couplers and good to go with a flat sprocket , I'll put some dummy bolts in the other 3 holes or weld them up ?
