Scottessey's Powell Challenger

[Scottessey]

Hey Fellas, I've been working on a Powell Challenger. I had a couple of separate threads on cleaning up the parts, so sorry for the redundancy. Big thanks to BayAreaBurrito for helping me get such a cool bike... and for helping me out so much to get it to where it's at so far. Here is what she looked like back in September at Funday.

Notice what those forks used to looked like? :doah: Here they are after a lot of :grind: and :hammer:.

Here's the 5hp Briggs I cleaned up for this project...

I'm glad to finally get this thread started. More pics soon! :thumbsup:

Thanks guys. George is right, it's a D. It is missing it's shifter bracket on the spine though. I'll be reattaching that soon. :thumbsup:

Now that's some real progress, that front end is double depth chrome and the Briggs is going to make it look so nice. It is going to be red right ?
