Lookin forward to seeing that black one come back to life. So Mark G., enjoy the restoration and then have fun riding! And Bayarea, I'm still lovin your bikes. I kind of enjoy seeing the bidding on that other bike up past $1500, but I'm not gonna sell! I just need to paint and fiddle a little with parts and I'll have a great Birthday surprise for my little boy. It's now more than 100% complete since I can switch between the two motors. I made a reproduction stainless clutch guard very much like the one on my other CR400 and I scored a 4 X 7 cylindrical tank. And, I have both an HS 40 and a Hodaka Ace 100 E series motor just about ready to put on it. My chrome all cleaned up really well with naval jelly and then buffing wheels. Took a lot of cleaning to get the nicotine stains off, but it truly looks and feels brand new. I too have a NOS seat for it, scored off Ebay a few months back from a group of 7 that were found new on a dealers shelf. In fact, I think everyone is gonna have an impossible time finding where the frame was repaired. I just ground down the welds on the frame tubing on the Big Z. As for the frame being butchered, I straightened the tubing and fitted sleeves and inserts to correct the frame and had it welded. I was very complete except for the motor. for the support on the Big Z mini chopper frame I bought. Maybe it won't teach them how to drive a car, but it sure is some fun family time!Īnd thanks Mark G. But you should see the smile when they ride the '69 mini chopper. My older daughter was asking what a "Screamin Chicken" decal was.They laugh when I show them pictures of some of the old cars I had. My 8 yr old boy loves the Camaro in Transformers. The mini bikes are where it started for me as a kid and now my kids are getting just a little bit of it. I never restored one, just maintained and used. All were fun, some rusted away, others just wore out or became a pain in the A. Had a 66 Lemans and a Malibu as a kid, later a Trans Am, a TR7 conv, a GTI, and a Mazda RX7 conv. You've restored some nice cars, I always loved 442's. To everybody: Your replies put a smile on my face! It's nice to hear how people do the restorations (or hot rod rebuilds) for the fun and to preserve a timeless piece of fun. I purchased the bike as rolling chassis no engine.
